    I guess I’m just not meant to gun hunt this year.

    I finally had does walk in. One got to 12 yards and gave me a broadside shot. I had already pulled the hammer back on my 45-70 so I put the crosshair on her and pulled the trigger. “Click”.

    She flinched but stayed put and I’m sitting here thinking “what the heck?” So I pull the hammer back again, aim and “click”. She just stood there on alert.

    As quietly as I could I slowly worked the lever, fished the round out, pushed the next round in. I closed the action and she bounced out to 40 yards. I aimed and squeezed the trigger. “Click”.

    Then I looked at the gun and the stupid “lawyer safety” was on. What genius decided a rifle with a half cock safety needed a button safety?

    I pushed that safety off and the doe was standing at 75 yards quartering away. I aimed, pulled the trigger and the gun roared.

    The doe ran out to about 125 yards, stood there and trotted off like nothing was wrong. I’m pretty sure I missed, but I don’t know how.

    If this weren’t such a beautiful gun I’d throw it from the stand right now.

    Here's my view for the morning. Hunting 730 till 12. I suspect that is bedding over there and there is a ton of briars behind me. Hoping something comes out late morning to feed. Wind is supposed to pick up to gust of 30mph so that might kill any movement. IMG_20221121_080729.jpg

    Ash, in that cover, 30mph winds are perfect.
    Good luck.
    Gonna start trailing shortly.
