Not even a bottle of water down there. I wouldnt allow anyone to drink while shooting on my property. Im not mad what happened, i enjoyed talking with them. Learned a little of thier mind set on a certain topic i was interested in.

Had a good time last night. Had 3 buddies come over at 8pm to shoot. We all wanted to dial in our varmit guns for the season. I had targets at 100, 200, and a 6 inch plate at 260. The plan was get them zeroed while we still had light and then shoot using our red lights. Shooting went well, i shot first at the plate at 260, 3 shots 3 hits. Then everyone elso took turns shootin. I took my last 3 shots at 10:10pm. We went down to check targets and on the way back 3 flashlights walkin down our path at us. I was like yep, someone called the cops on us lol. Got to talk to 3 nice sherriffs. Supposedly a neighbor was concerned with all the shooting and thought we may have been drinking. No one had a drink down there. It was funny to me and nice just bullshi#ting with the sherriffs. Didnt get any great pics but u can see the plate, my buddy put reflective tape on it to be like yote eyes.

Getting better, told him to make the first shot count. He did that. Grouped opened up after he got lightly scoped. Holding the gun to loosey goosey in the shoulder i think.

That rifle isnt goin on that hunt. This just lays around till varmint season, maybe if i hunt my field during deer season. At about 13.5lbs its not much of a tree stand gun. This is my son and the much lighter rifle goin on the hunt.

My son was practicing for his up coming hunt so i wanted to put some rounds down range too. 10 shots in 1.5 minutes with a reload after 5 shots. Loading the mag not just switching the mag out.

More practice today. Its dead every time but obviously want that group to shrink. Also only 45 bullets through the new barrel.

I purchased our tractor at landpro in oakfield a few years ago. Im very happy with my purchase, it had to go in late last year for a simple repair. Turnaround time was 2 days and covered under warranty.

My dads actually goin with us, hes shootin a pig.

Fallow deer.

Fallow deer, hes 10 so a place for him to be able to hunt that is close to home. Plus this is something he really wanted, he saved his own money from working with me and its what he asked for his birthday, cash for the hunt. I get its fenced, but its an opportunity for him to learn in the woods on his own hunt to stay focused, stay still, enjoy the surroundings. Its given more of a reason to shoot with him more. He has been coming on hunts with me for years, he knows what its like to freeze his butt off and not see a thing. I personally cant wait to see the look on his face when he walks up to his first kill and gives thanks to that animal.

His first 7 shots at 100 yards through the rifle i put together for him. Its a 16" 6.5 grendel AR. Put a 2-7x33 leupold on it i had layin around. Ill put up a pic of the rifle when i get home. Yes i adjusted a few clicks left after he shot. We will get back out tomorrow for more.

Yep, take pictures.

Only pic of the day. When we found the fish it was non stop baiting and dropping back down. Came back with 7 nice size mangrove snapper. Caught a few yellowtail snapper, grunts, and my son with a rainbow runner. We caught some blue runners which make great shark bait. Had my wife setup up with them, unfortunately i believe we had a large goliath grouper waitin on her bait. We would drop it down, after about 10-15minutes her line would slowly move to the other side of the boat. Try and tighten the line up and one good tug and it was in its coral hole. Snapped my 50lb braid 3 times like it was nothin. Great time down here. Unfortunately/fortunately we are headed home a day early. My wife was called in for a big interview on monday, so we are driven all the way home tomorrow/ be home early monday morning.

Free dive, inly like 10-15' of water for us.

Todays haul... 2 "keeper" lobster. Caught a bunch but too small. Try again tomorrow.

I should probably watch one of those...

Early off the water today, wife was feelin pretty sick. Managed a real nice mutton snapper and some smaller snapper. Saw dolphins and sea turtles. Try again tomorrow.

Tasty

Good first day on the boat. Came back with grouper fillets. Lost some toothy ones today, more wire tomorrow.

Up with the sun tryin to get some bait. Not goin so well but hes tryin.

Hand feeding some tarpon at Bud n Marys on islamorada.

My brother did a charter on Ontario on WetNet charters. Had a great time. They do walleye on erie also.

Hunt is scheduled for the end of august, hope it cools down some.

Congrats! We'll be down in marathon on sunday. I absolutely love the keys!

Booked a hunt for my son at finger lakes exotic game farm. Yes its a fenced hunt. Its 240 acres, you hunt from stands or blinds, no bait. He is hunting for a fallow deer doe. He asked for money for this hunt for his birthday and got enough. My father is coming along also, he's goin for a pig. I will be the video/photographer. Sooo this gave me a excuse to put together another gun. I had a upper for a ar in a wildcat round that i wasnt thrilled with. Sold that barrel and purchased a Ballistic Advantage 16" fluted barrel in 6.5 grendel. Will be putting it all together hopefully before we leave for the keys. Cant wait to see how he shoots with it.
