300+ rounds down range with a gun your very comfortable and confident in. At this point it should all be all natural instincts taking over when a deer steps out at 200 yards. Don’t think about it and get in your own head. Get the crosshairs on the deer and squeeze the trigger when ready. No different that a 60 yard shot. You got this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I was in your predicament I’d probably wet myself over seeing a fawn. Your having a tough year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could still use some more meat for the year plus I like when I have extra and I can share the wealth to friends that weren't so lucky. My mentality has changed over the years to where I now only shoot at larger bodied deer. Racks don't mean a whole lot to me as long as the body is a decent size. Of course that also means a have a tendency to pass at the smaller racked bucks now vs what I would shoot in the past.

Great story@Buckmaster7600 the mental and physical endurance it takes to hunt like you do is something special. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even though we are in a rifle area now I can not stray from my 12ga 1100 with a red dot scope for opening weekend. I will have my savage 30-.06 and new Ruger 6.5 creedmore with me as well but they wont come out unless the 12ga knocks one down Saturday.

I'm 50/50 on deer drives now. We do one big one every year and it will usually produce a few deer. I really cant remember any big bucks being taken during them but I do remember that someone always shoots at a running deer and wounds it. We then spend countless hours tracking and trying to recover unfortunately we don't always recover them and that's the part that I don't like.
