In Lima the wind has dropped to almost nothing. Same as the deer...lol

Pretty sure mine was 1980, Opening Day that year. The gun was an Ithaca Deerslayer with a 2x EER mounted on the barrel dovetails. Ironically as hell, he was shot on land that (member here) Zag's family owns right now!! I'm sure the tree has fallen by now, it was a HUGE old oak tree.

Good times Dan.....what gun and where was it?

Shot a 2018 Elite Ritual today......smooth!! That could be the one for me.

Belo........I need sneakers and a new bow. and not necessarily in that order. Get on it will ya.

I bet Charlie Alsheimer is smiling from above......................RIP Big Buck

Bath? Wow that is quite s buck.

The G3 difference (my perception anyway) is why I’d say two different bucks.

Where is that Val??

He wouldn’t let you use your rifle??

I bet it'll be an interesting morning in the Tower...................

I have a bunch of Nissan (now called Nissan Thermos) brand. They have all been great.......

Remember that boot thread last year, THIS is the weather all the Baffin buyers (including me) have been waiting for. Only thing is, I ain't hunting tomorrow. Happily....... I'm bushed as it's been a killer week at work and each of the last three I've been cutting up my deer. I'm done now, all is in the freezer. Maybe this weekend at some point I'll go out.

Ah ha, that’ll be fun. Slap his ass anyway........

Good luck guys! Please give The Mermaid a hug and Dan a pinch in the ass for me.

Really? Blaser R8 I can PM you my address........

Looks like it was a productive day for the hunters today. A special congratulations to Grampy and Steuben Jerry's daughter, well damn done!! PS......Age and dressed weight please.

I took it to my buddies place the weekend before. We didn't put it in his barn for the winter because he had some other things to jockey around before my boat goes in. The plan was to do it on Friday but with the coming snow he put it in the east end of the barn but it couldn't stay there all winter, it had to go in the west end. Well I thought maybe I could swing it around to the west end door but the snow proved too much. I got the truck & trailer stuck, mostly because the ground was so soft. I got late word today that it is out of the field and up in front of the east end door again. Maybe at some point this week/weekend after the super cold temps I can haul it in the other end and put 'er to bed. Pain in the azz............

"STUCK STUFF", not stick stuff................that's what I get for rushing.

Friday I had stuck vehicles including; my Tacoma, a Silverado, all wheel drive Toyota mini van and my boat. All were freed easy enough with an M tractor and some snatch-um straps. Except the boat, it’s going to have to stay where it is till a hard freeze. I love stick stuff extraction except when it’s mine!

Hopefully Reeltime is a more frequent poster here, me missed him.

Story in Harvest Thread.........

Here's my story........Friday was a total mind blower with the 11" of snow we got in Ontario Country. Two of us spent 7-8 hours moving snow, gettin cars/trucks/boats stuck and unstuck. (the boat is still stuck and will have to wait till the ground is frozen) We put up a ladder stand that will have to be moved AGAIN as I made an honest mistake and discovered it early afternoon yesterday while perusing OnX, my bad. Oh and we had the Great swan roundup for my buddies PIA birds. Myself and another guest got them up to the barn and the one on my side made a break for it.......I cornered him into the side of the barn. The 11" of snow helped to slow the big SOB down. I tackled him and carried him into his cell (horse stall) where he/she will spend the 5-6 months with its partner. Saturday was a bust for me. I should have known better than to go where I went with the winds that were forecast, all I saw was one doe all day. I'd rather not even think about what a dumb move that was....... So today was a different story. I made it to my spot by 6:30 despite the terrible snow conditions. Around 6:55 I spotted a lone deer way out in a mowed field, probably 400 yards and heading parallel to my position. He disappeared for a hew minutes and I thought I'd never get a crack at him. I watched for him to appear at one of my two possible shooting lanes and he went to the better of the two......sunrise today was 7:07am, exact time I shot him. Approx. 150 yard shot, .243 with Barnes 80gr TTSX, 8pt and dressed weight of 198lbs. I let him lay for about an hour before gutting him in hopes of a crack at a good doe. I did see one but the shot was just a touch sketchy so I passed. I didn't need a rodeo....... I have one buddy who has a great sense of humor, he sent me this picture and I should have sent it to Bizzy, he'd get a kick out of it. The End

Just a thought; have you driven to his house/shop?

Nice shooting Paula!!
