  1. 2 12 man drives at Gman’s today. I first pushed for the first then watched on the second. Sweated my azz off pushing in the snow and hills. Nice to sit the second , not gonna lie. These guys know what they’re doing. My first large group drive and loved it. Saw maybe this one early that went up large hill and then possibly back down. Saw big doe at light speed but no shot. Someone took out his front legs and he was still moving fast . Another heart shot so 3 for 3 this year in that aspect. Samantha n I going back in morning and hoping to get her on the gun. Button buck again. Went from crappy year to great eating year fast.
  2. Friend has 2 of these. Roomy , sturdy AF . Leaves up all year , no problems with snow.
  3. 5 came in . 1 was a fawn. After the whiff on big buck last night I picked the best shot .The biggest 2 didn’t give me a clean shot. Well enjoy eating this venison for sure. 1 more for the freezer would be ideal.
  4. Same spot as the whiff on buck last night for the last hour of legal daylight.
  5. Do they speak with an accent?
  6. I had this girlfriend in highschool that when I went down............oh never mind but this could have been useful
  7. Had a girlfriend in high school that drove an automatic but boy o boy could she handle a stick shift well. I miss her !
  8. Worked til 3. Home by 3:15. At Treeguy’s at 3:30 on a ridge. Standing behind a big tree cutting the blowing snow outta my eyes. Scent blowing down along the ridge top , can see down below , what’s coming at me and what might enter the field to my left. 4:39 I see a shooter doe approaching , then another behind it by 20 yards. First is down below me at 35-40 yards. Here we go. Settle the crosshairs on the front shoulder with the ml. Pull back the hammer and ready to send it. Catch movement behind the second doe. Big body buck and well outside the ears. Ease the hammer down. All I can see now is back half , lots of trees between us. Then I have head and top half of neck. Tempting at the neck but wait for the front half to come in to the clear. Step to side of big tree and use it as a rest. He clears giving me front half. Hammer back , center the crosshairs, boom , smoke . 4:40 and 1 minute of legal left. No idea which way they run. Descend hill , no blood , no hair. Text Treeguy . He comes and helps to look . We find nothing . Swing and a miss on a dandy. I can’t recollect ever missing one before. Sadly have lost 2 over the many years . So I guess it could be worse. I’ll chalk it up to 2020. Hindsight I could have shot the first doe as she was clear broadside at 30-35 yards. But those antlers !! He was 50-60 tops. Guess my threading the needle didn’t fair so well. Now I’m afraid my guns off too though. Ballz is all I can say. Times a ticking.
  9. I bought woman’s size XL for my daughter. She wears a women’s size 7. Royal pita getting them over her rubber boots
  10. So sorry to hear this. The woods are the best place to think things out.
