And you're saying that she DIDN'T complain about the caliber? I'm convinced. Might try the solid copper .223 for the 2022 season. Figure it'll take that long to find them if this year's trend continues, or learn how to work liquid copper into a mold!

Jeez...someone had fun epoxying antlers on a cow....That's a lot of burger!

Started to this year. My in laws are in 3M, and after a few years of family gatherings I smacked my head and said "Hey!, why don't I actually hunt 3M during thanksgiving and family stuff?!" Always a ton of deer in the developments there, but I'm doing public land (stewart) so it is what it is.

That's why you NEED subsonic .300 AAC

Sounds like a perfect day to me. Always hard hunting still from ground, and in my experience, the deer ALWAYS come from where you're not positioned... But getting him at the last minute and enjoying you hard work with that situation? That's gotta feel good! Plus fried up backstraps always helps

That would be an awesome day for me this season, or any season seeing 15 deer this late into gun in one day. Nice buck, and even nicer to have the family enjoy in the bounty! Sounds like you were shooting from ground level?

This is why you need Canadian tactical hunting cup! I haven't done cinnamon to chile (yet!) but my sister in law does cocoa powder to chili and holy smokes, it does taste better! Random and I didn't believe it until I tried.

I'm still loving your style though if all I have to do is camo my hot cider mug and bucks are still coming! As for the does...have you tried adding cinnamon to the cider?

Jeez, I though AR were a bit interesting with pressure. Measuring width? I dunno, that seems...like we can only hunt them if they're socially distanced by 200 yards....

I love my dog and wife and make sure both of them wear blaze. That being said, I'm ok with off leash, gets the deer moving! Would get REAL worried about my black 50# curly bear cub looking dog running around without it! Also, the most expensive retriever that I haven't taken out in the field. If only I could explain to him how ducks are REALLY tennis balls, I wouldn't have to hit up the meat tree (aka supermarket for the downstate liberals).

Public or private?

Honestly don't know which post was funnier...Bionic's or Biz-R-OWorld's

Ditto. Nothing like the 7's or 8's. It's hard hunting, lots of ticks (in my experience, unless in the catskills but the density, AR restrictions and private land make it...interesting). I'm looking at max 50 yd shots unless I'm in a climber...then I get maybe 75, almost never 100 yds.

Jeez Wolc, I've been hunting for years all wrong... Take me under your wings and mentor me! Would love to know what it feels like being in a 2 story blind with hot apple cider when legal light hits. Would probably feel my hands & toes!
