Understood. Wife Isn’t confident past 100yards. We’ll see how it goes. Had one shooter in the field at 135yards and a smaller buck at about 60. I let the doe take the night off since there was a good buck out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That really is awesome! You're very fortunate to still be able to hunt with your Dad. Big congrats to him!
Been back at the house for a while. 15 minutes before dark a group of does came in but never got closer than 50 yards and they were in thick stuff. I wouldn’t have had a shot if I’d had my rifle. The temps were in the 30s but the wind made it uncomfortable. The low in the morning is supposed to be 20 degrees but there isn’t supposed to be any wind. I’ll be out there but 20 is pushing the limits of the gear I have since my heated vest isn’t working. The new one is supposed to show up Wednesday.
The things we put up with for deer. The night Dad shot his buck I was setting on the opposite end of the farm at the end of a field and had a strong west wind in my face. Tears were rolling down my face from the wind chill, when he texted me that he shot the 10 point. I set there for another hour waiting on last light for the deer he just shot to show up. Duh! It wasn't going to but my frame of mind for the past 3-weeks told me I had to be there.
That's a great memory there! Outstanding buck. Super cool. Sunny - any pics for us? Blood shows up real well in the snow.
So glad you're a teacher and not EMT "I can let a little pressure off this severed artery, plenty to spare.... such a pretty red" All in good fun
everytime I get back on carnivore, within three days I wonder why the hell I fell off the wagon. Nearly eliminates my arthritis everytime. Not to mention the weight loss (which also helps the joints.)
bruh! is that a Ruger .44 carbine? or the model 96 lever action? I have a carbine, what a sweet shooter that is. Picked it up at a local gun store that was closing back in...maybe 16? For like $400. I could easily sell it for almost triple now, but I never would. One of my favorite guns to shoot. Haven't shot a deer with it yet though, although that may change this weekend. Got my eyes out for one of the lever action versions, but they go for like $1600 on gunbroker and that's too rich for my blood.
