Unless they're bloated I do the same thing. I've put injured deer out of their misery several times too. Nothing crazy about your actions at all. SJC

Saw my first on the way to Hornell yesterday. was't mangled just laying dead in the middle of the road. You may think I'm crazy but I stoped and threw it in the weeds on the side of the road. I totally made sure no traffic was coming. Call me crazy I know. lol

I just saw a fawn dead on the road a couple hours ago just south of Canandaigua. It's a sad thing to see.

I have seen a lot of turkey buzzards in fields where combines have gone thru, in Niagara/Orleans County. I assume some fawns may have been victims of the combines.

Ran off a few cartridges this afternoon to get this barrel sighted in, it is wearing a Nikon 2X7 scope. Shot a few lead Missouri Bullets that duplicate the old 25-20 load and was disappointed in their accuracy. I then tried some full power loads firing the Sierra 90 gr HPs and like the model 62 Levermatic they were grouping ragged holes like they do in just about every gun I have tried them in. I have yet to fire the Barnes 80 gr copper, I will give those a shot when I get a chance. The mosquitoes just about ate me alive out there. Al

Most of it wasn’t too bad today. I got that 4 acres done lickity split this morning, pulling that little 2x12 1951 Dearborn plow in 6th gear with my JD 4120. Only a couple small wet spots on the front field. The soil moisture content out back was just about perfect for high speed plowing. I’ll get it disked up the first time, as soon as it dries enough, after the next (4) rainy days. I’ll be using my JD 4120 tractor on the the 8 ft pull type disk that first time. After that, I’m dying to try that disk on my Durango field car. It’s got real good Cooper tires, a 318 cu in gasoline engine, a nice Pioneer stereo, comfortable cab, and cup holders. I’ll be needing to add some length to the control rope though, to reach the front seat. The spots I have plowed have plenty of turnaround space on the ends and sides, so lacking turning brakes shouldn’t hurt me too bad.
