Pygmy

I'll be wearing nothing but a pair of white socks and a black Lone Ranger mask......

My plans...Wait until gun season....Climb up into my elevated, heated tower blind...Shoot deer in food plot...Drive truck to deer and slide it up the ramp into the truck bed....Repeat at least one more time during season... Plan B....Drive up to Moog's and sit in Moog's tower blind...He loads his rifle...I shoot two deer with his rifle...Moog throws them into my truck as if they are rag dolls.. I get lost again on my way home but eventually make it there....

I am happy for you !! Looking forward to the story and the pictures....

Congrats, DAD !! Never heard of a whelping kennel...I guess things are done differently downstate...

Cool....He reminds me of Reba Mcintyre...

I'd tell you that, Stormy, but then I'd have to kill you....

Robin, I fondly remember your posts and videos...I enjoyed them very much.. Sorry to hear about your health issues, but I am glad to hear that you are doing as well as you are...

Awwww....Ya DOESN'T have ta call me JOHNSON....

I don't do hangons anymore.....All I can picture is me laying on the ground and my testicles hanging on a limb about halfway up to the stand... Not that I need them anymore, but if they were gone I'd MISS them.... What would I have to SCRATCH when I get out of bed ??…..

PERVERT !!!!...

With a peep sight, you just look through the rear peep, with no conscious effort to align it...Your eye will automatically center the front sight... If you have a post for the front sight, simply set the target on top of the post..If you have a bead, you can either center the bead on the target, or set the target on top ( six o'clock hold), depending on how you sight in your rifle ... Peep sights are very accurate when used properly...It is no accident that iron sighted target rifles always are fitted with peep sights rather than regular notch type rear sights...

I understand that the atmospheric " Clorox" level in the atmosphere has been quite high this year...

There are not many things in hunting that are more satisfying than the THUMP of a big honker hitting the ground after being folded from about thirty yards up......

Good old 8T....Used to own property there myself....I have a number of friends who own property there and they are overrun with doe, but you need to be a landowner or have pref points to get a DMP...

Looksto me like someone used some chicken wire to protect his weed from the deer... Should work like a charm....

Both sound like good ways, Rob....20 years ago I could bull one up into the truck too, and I am a little smaller than you are.. About ten years ago I had a hell of a time loading an adult doe...Since then I have had to use some mechanical advantage if I am alone, which is most of the time.. LEVERAGE is your FRIEND …..Hehehe..

Damn Wolc...Now I gotta shoot a button buck just to see if his liver is better than the average deer.. Not really interested in eating his cojones, though....Maybe I could cook them up for The Mermaid and tell her that they are Canisteo River Oysters... She likes oysters...…...Hmmmmm….

Sounds like fun to me....Bring lots of bourbon, some warm sleeping bags and a hooker...PERFECT opening weekend !!

Get him a grown up gun..He'll soon out grow the youth modell As for chamberings, the .243 is very capable in the hands of a good rifleman, BUT both the 6.5 Creed and the 7MM-08 offer better terminal ballistics, if only in the greater likelihood of a pass through, leaving a better blood trail if tracking is required...Neither chambering kicks enough more than a .243 for recoil to be a factor, and should a few years from now he decides to do some long range (300 yards +) shooting both have advantage over the .243 at longer ranges... There is a wide selection of factory loads for all 3 chamberings, so if you do not reload, you should be able to find a load that shoots well in your son's rifle.

Moog picks them up by the front and back legs and literally THROWS them in the truck...I've seen him do it...Bless his PEA-PICKIN' little heart !!

That is basically the way I do it....I often get the plywood ramp in place and have my aircraft cable drag around the head and neck... I get the deer started a bit up the ramp and then climb into the bed and drag.. the deer on up...

No.. That's my favorite LOVE story....." Take down them PANTIES, BOY !! "…..

I have never seen any place in PA that resembled the terrain in The Deer Hunter... THAT along with the red deer,,detracted from the movie for me.... Of course we must sometimes allow for a bit of " poetic license" in Films......One of my very favorite films of all times, " Bridge on the River Kwai" has Japanese prison camp troops using British weapons, SMLE rifles, Sten submachine guns and Vickers water cooled machine guns... However, though I have never read any documentation regarding this, it is very possible that after the British surrender of Singapore, where British forces surrendered mass quantities of arms and muntitions to the Japs, it is possible that some rear echelon troops such as prison camp personnel,,,may have been issued captured small arms...

Yeah..Just consider me the DR RUTH of HNY.....Is your grandma good looking ? How about your Mom ??
