Well, I didn't get the big buck yesterday, but I did put a nice doe down. Slight quartering toward shot at 70 yds with the 7mm08 she ran about 40 yds. I almost brought my 44mag revolver with me because I've been trying to get a deer with it since last year, but decided to just stick to the rifle. Well, the day I didn't bring it I get a perfect 70yd shot that would have been fairly easy pistol shot.

 

meat in the freezer!

 

Yep, trying to get as much meat as I can. Last year I shot 2, but my brother and dad didn't get any so we didn't have as much as we normally do. I'm out of school tomorow, so me and a buddy are going hunting at my property. Maybe one of us will see a monster, but I'd be happy with another doe.

 

Well finally got one down this past weekend. Biggest to date with a bow. Had him right under my stand within two minutes of hitting my rattling antlers. He was pissed and looking for a fight. He got the shaft instead. [IMG][/IMG]

 

NICE! Congrats!

 

Congrats on the buck! I passed up a small 5pt Tuesday evening hoping that it would make it to the next year or walk up the road to my buddy so he could get his first buck. It ended up walking straight to my buddy and he made a perfect shot. We also found where somebody trespassed on our land, shot a spike and a button buck, cleaned them and left the carcasses there. What made it even worse was that we are trying to let the small bucks walk to let them grow, and we have passed both of these bucks up several times this year. I called the game warden and told him exactly who it was (group of fools that lease land beside us), and unfortunantly he said there isn't much they can do because there isn't any proof that they did it.

 

Today was opening day of duck season here in GA and we ended up with a pretty decent morning, 1 wood duck and 3 ruddy ducks. We had a great spot planned out and knew we would have to beat other people to it, so we showed up at 2AM this morning only to find somebody already set up there. We went to a back up spot a couple hundred yards from the original spot and ended up getting 4 ducks, and the other guys tore up the ducks all morning where we were gonna sit. Hopefully there won't be as many people out there tomorow with it being Sunday and we can get the spot we want.

 

Ended up with 2 gadwall this morning. Would have had a better morning if these idiots didn't show up 20 mins before shooting light, set up 150 yards from us, and shoot at every duck that flew within 100 yards of them.

 

my buddy got a 5 pointer last night. i didnt see anything at all. he was very frustrated this hunting year first shot threw brush hit somthing and missed him the buck just stood still after the shot 2nd one hit him in the spine and threw a lung he did a 180* and fell down. he thinks his scopes off.



Thats my buddy on the left and our other buddys dad.

not a bad deer. first time ive ever seen one guted and cleaned wasnt as bad as i thought it was but i didnt get a smell of it...im not good with smells or sights for the most part dont think i could gut my own....

 

as long as you dont gut shoot em you're fine. ive lost it during slug season... slugs do a number to intestines...

 

here's one from the other day. yes, that's an x-bow.

 

Success! Here's my 2012 Nevada Muley bruiser!


Shot it with my open sight Thompson Center Omega muzzle loader. Can't use a scope during muzzle loader hunts here.


Here's the buck and some Mule deer and Elk sheds we picked up while out and about...all laid out in the back of the trusty ol' F150

I love living out west

 

Congrats on the muley, thats a stud! Looks like that was one hell of a hike to get it back to the truck.

 

thanks! It wasn't too bad. I've had worse! Getting a buck like that definitely makes it worth it.

 

Real Nice Muley! Congrats!
