This evening was interesting... After I swappeed scopes on my Squirrel Gun and got sightted in at 60 yards, I sat watching squirrels eating corn at 200+ yards... Then I Looked down shooting lane "A" and watched as a hawk was devouring a rat... It took quite a spell for me to see what he was eating, but I think I figured it out... He took flight suddenly and a Bobcat came in to finish off tthe hawks` meal... I said Shooting lane, but I don`t shoot that lane for there`s a house up in that direction so I couldn`t shoot the Bobcat... He was too fast anyhow, he grabbed and took off... Then the "Unicorn Spike" showed up in the same lane... We call him the "Unicorn Spike" on accountta he broke off one antler... God is good, Dennis 26 degrees this morning, then was 48 when I left the stand just a bit ago...
Well back from hunting this past week. Hunting group ended up with 10 deer from Saturday thru Wednesday. Temps were mostly in the 20's snowed one day and got windy. Still hunting paid out for me again saw deer everyday though no legal buck would show up to play "tag " with me. Whacked 4 deer all count as doe , one was a buck with broken off horns shot it while My uncle and I were talking while dad was gutting out one he shot. All I could see was it's head and neck shot in neck and bullet exited high on opposite shoulder dropped in it's tracks. Whacked 2 other nice size doe and opened the skull of one that thought it was hidden in the grass all I could see was ears and top of skull a nice tender one. Here's some pics one is a little graphic. One pic is back side of a swamp where I usually start the hunt, have about 400 acres that we lease I cover most of it.
Yeah, https://www.ranchero.us/forum/index.php?members/dyno.5860/ Venison is GREAT!!! We`re having some of the first ever archery deer I got for supper, leftovers from last 2 nights supper Love it, Dennis
I shot a NICE one this morning, on the run... I`ll never do that again... Buzzards will find it, I didn`t... I sure hate that, Dennis I had all the neighbors looking
'66 bummer not finding it. Did the banzai run up to the butcher and back this morning. Now I have a happy freezer, believe I can make it thru the winter ! Now to seal the kielbasa up and freeze it for future use. Also got a roll of summer sausage and salami made by the butcher. Had another place make Deer bologna ( like sweet Lebanon bologna ) and ring bologna made. All good stuff !! Good luck with everyone else's hunting ! Season done for me.
