Very nice, you can also stand the wood upright and make like a pedestal mount as shown below.

Merry xmas all, enjoy it with your loved ones!!!!

Very good year so far, between me and 1 of my sons we took 3 shooters off of our 41 acres between the rifle and muzzleloader seasons. Freezer is almost full with healthy lean meat!!! Unfortunately the ML buck was a mercy kill as he was in bad shape otherwise he would have gotten a pass with that half rack. Only got half the meat off him but I didn't do it for the meat, had to end his suffering. All in all a fantastic season with lots of great memories!!! Truly blessed to be able to hunt these elusive animals.

My plans for the late season was to get 1 more deer to finish off our season. Had to use my muzzleloader tag Saturday afternoon on this poor fella. Was in stand not 15 minutes and was in the process of getting layered up with clothes when I caught movement over 100 yards away. Picked up binos and saw it was a mature buck but was a half rack. I thought it was the half racked 8 point I had on cam but turned out to be another buck. As he was walking i noticed a limp in his back leg, as he got within 50 yards i could see he was in ruff shape and that 1 leg was held in the air. Had all intentions of letting him go till next year until I saw his shape. He would have never made it thru the winter, was happy to end his suffering. I waited roughly 20 mins.from the time I first saw him to get a clean shot. I settled the 50 cal. ML on his front shoulders, he dropped, as he rolled down the mountain the one side of his rack fell off. In all I was able to salvage, 1 back leg, tenderloins and backstraps. The very next day I could have taken a bull of a 7 pointer however I'm content with using my ML tag on this guy, felt I did the right thing, definitely wasn't for the amount of meat. I know shit happens but boggles my mind how someone can hit a deer so far back and low. Please don't take running shots, don't shoot thru brush, practice shooting!!!!! Rant over, thanks for reading. Happy Holidays all!!!!!

I had done it once because that's the shot I had, I was using a 50 Cal. MZ , shot was at base of neck on a big buck, dropped immediately. My much preferred shot is to take out both front shoulders, drop instantly.

2 bucks me and my son took, an 8 on opening day and a 9 on Tuesday .

Who did the painting?

Been toating my dad's 60 year old 35 remington, he passed 3 years ago and I find comfort using his rifle. It has served me very well through the years. Took this buck with it last season. The 2nd pic shows the 35 on another buck i took on a previous year.

I don't experience this when on the other forum. Maybe contact a mod over there about your issues with the pics..

And humans..

That's what toy do, people that kill them purposely are dumb. Good man.

Leave them alone and they won't bother you. Good for rodent control.
