I have the same one. Love that thing! i use mine for still hunting boar and bear. Good size round and quick follow up shots. I would use my 308 for deer but no rifle here. One day I hope to find a spot somewhere in Orange, Sullivan or Duchess, until then, they are all safe ornaments

Marlin 35 rem?

I'm glad to hear he is ok, but I would have told my son the same thing lol

Glad you quantified that by using the word "bird"

Live from the office...I am here physically but my mind is in the woods. I can't wait!! Saturday, I NEED you!

Good God Man! Did you use my howitzer? You blew its head clean off!!

Agreed. Same feelings here.

Hahahahaha I wish

I was really blessed in that my mentor was a retired butcher of 35 years. I always know my meat came from my deer and no waiting or fees either. It is something I would suggest all hunters learn. Its just another aspect of the hunting experience. Scout, Harvest, Process.

Its an androgynous deer, but I think its identifying as a spike this year. Last year it was a doe

Just getting caught up. Congrats Grampy! Great buck! Funny how you blew off doc's orders then blew away such a nice deer. But you really shoulda let one of the 85 guys that offered to help do so.

Agreed. I have a pair and they really don't work as advertised. on "high" setting, your feet warm up from frozen solid all the way to very cold and then they turn off and you only realize when your feet are once again frozen solid. Just put toe warmers in your boots. They work better.

So yesterday I spot a doe at 45+ and start glass in it. I make a move to get a better view and see 4 doe bound away (including the one i was watching). Had no idea the others were there. About an hour and a half later, while I’m reading this thread, I hear something and the same four doe are in front of me at 20. The big one was standing broadside and presenting an easy shot. I put my phone in my pocket and pull on the zipper so it don’t fall out. She hears the zipper. Unbelievable, I couldn’t hear them walk up because it was so loud in there but she hears my zipper. She doesn’t run but is on alert now. I had no way to move without getting busted so they walked behind some thick and out of my day. I don’t think they saw me move earlier because they never looked in my direction until I zipped my pocket. That turned out to be all the deer movement I saw until 1230 when I left. Gonna head back in this afternoon and try again. Lesson from yesterday: I leave my phone alone unless I’m checking time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I am lookin at the thread catching up I hear something and look up to see the same 4 doe from earlier in front of me at 20. No way to stand no way to draw. Very cool but uncool at same time. Gotta put phone down for a while and try to harvest something lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw what I thought was 1 doe at 45ish yards. Moved to glass her and I see 4 bound away. No idea the others were there. They must have caught some movement. Oh well. Still early. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
