I had forgot I started this thread...

DIVORCE vs. MURDER A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said : I'd like to buy some cyanide. The pharmacist asked : Why in the world do you need cyanide ? The lady replied : I need it to poison my husband. The pharmacist's eyes got big and he explained : Lord have mercy ! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband, that's against the law. I'll lose my license ! They'll throw both of us in jail ! You CANNOT have any cyanide. Just get a DIVORCE ! The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband with the pharmacist's wife. The pharmacist looked at the picture and said, "You didn't tell me, you had a PRESCRIPTION..."

A blast thread from the past, and what I can recollect from the past 60 years plus, Still have some safe queens that have yet to earn their stripes. The vast majority of my Deer hunting and kills were with 12 ga slugs and for rifle my 280 Remington. Bottom line all what I used killed deer with no problem with a well placed shot.

Here's another Nocturnal guy from back in 2013. This one showed up just behind our barn...........ONLY ONCE! He must have got lost....lol. Never saw him again. Never got another picture of him again. Never saw him in real life. No heavy mass. No points randomly all snaggled all over the place. Just a very nice symmetrical set of antlers. Measurements and numbers????.... who cares? Classical perfection????.....You bet.

I hope your right. I like to get another with my bow. It been a while.

I hunt with a 1999 Mathews MQ-32 bow. There are another 11 assorted bows (compounds and recurves and a long bow) hanging on the wall down in the basement, all top-of-the-line bows in their day. Easton aluminum, arrows Mostly autumn orange XX-75, with game getter back-ups. Bear Razorhead broadheads Cobra ring-pins (4) sight heavily modified Tru-fire wrist release Nothing new since 1999, w/everything still serviceable and killing deer.

This will be your year!!!

I think those little 28 ga shotguns are just about perfect for small game, I have a TriStar 28 OU and along with my CZ side by side and one of those two are what I grab most of the time when out with one of my dogs. A lot of people rag on Turkish made firearms but I have had nothing but good experiences with any made in Turkey. I have shot quite a few clay birds with mine and not only can I make good hits with them, they have also been totally reliable. The only negative is the shell can be hard to find but I solved that problem by handloading my own. The price is right, that little OU will make someone a great small game getter, good luck with the sale. Al

We have been having some good luck calling and killing them over in Avoca. Every night we've been out weve killed atleast one.

I don't "talk smack" about the way anyone hunts. As I have said many times, hunting is an individual activity motivated by whatever each of us feels it all means to ourselves. There is no rule that I am aware of that says that everyone must get the same satisfactions and fulfillment from hunting. My comments reflect my own views on my own hunting and my own personal satisfactions, which was what I wanted to hear from other members when I began this topic. Something besides proclamations that that if you don't do it my way you don't even know what hunting means. I never saw controversy in the simple question that I asked in this topic. I have no idea why the topic took this turn. I'm sorry if you mistakenly took any of my comments as a challenge to your personal motives and satisfactions in your hunting. That was not intended.

My grandmother was full blood Cherokee, raised on the reservation. From a very young age, I knew I had to hunt. It was something deep inside my soul, and still is. I would go with her every summer to visit our relatives down in NC. From my great uncles, and others, I learned some early skills. I never had a father that hunted. But the old farmer I worked for since age 12, at the end of our road did! He and his buddies took me under their wing, and got me started deer hunting. I'd already began small game hunting on my own. They were very successful hunters, and killed deer every year, back when deer numbers were nothing like today! I carry with me the traditions and memories from those younger days, each time I hunt. It's what made me who I am today. Now that I've put a half century of deer seasons behind me. I'm most proud of not the deer I've killed myself. But the many young hunters I've mentored, as I passed the torch that was given to me. So that one day they will pass it along as well. The fire from that torch, still burns hot within me. That completes the circle.
