i got #60 today. don't ask me why i've counted, but i have.

i had not been seated down 1 minute this afternoon when he crossed the creek heading my way and i got ready. it took him a few minutes but he showed himself again at about 70 yards. i was looking at him through the scope when he suddenly went ballistic and started running right at me. he stopped at about 7-8 yards. i was kinda curious to what made him run but i could see a full spectrum behind him and there were no other deer so i cocked and blew his lungs against a nearby tree. he still ran 50 yards. he died about 10 feet from where the doe yesterday died. i had to drag his ass right up the same blasted hill side.

nothing but a button/spike but it's meat, and that's what i hunt for.

i had no one to take a pic today, so it's just the deer and the muzzle loader.



i timed myself tonight. after i had gutted him i threw him on the gambles and in 27 minutes on the dot i had skinned him, quartered him and cut out the T-loins and sweet meat, drove the carcass over to the other side of the farm, tossed it, drove home and cut the hooves off. not bad IMO.



he's "chillin" in the fridge and tomorrow night we'll cut him up with the one i killed yesterday.

Need to be sitting over the carcus tonight and blasting yotes and coons.

i put the gut pile in .308 distance of the house.

That is good that you got 2 in 2 days.

Nice work stu! I am going after #2 this weekend... we will see if i decide to shoot a doe or not. If i do its just more meat for me i guess

Nice, again!

i'm all about the meat bro. i need to get 5 or 6 to fill the quota so to speak. if i don't it's no biggie, but that's what i'm going for. i always shoot 1 or 2 each year for my aunt, she basically lives on what i shoot and send down to her in NC. it's been warm so we are in canning mode, but it's only the 3rd day of ML season, i've got 4 more weeks to blast. actually 6, if i count late ML.

that's cool you do that for your aunt. i remember you bringing her an assload of meat last year

word. i've taken her meat evey year i can remember being over 18 to be honest.

where she lives there are no deer. where i live, i can "antler hunt" and go hungry, or i can blast some deer. fuzz it, i blast some damn deer. little or big, same eating to us.

in a few years when i have some cash i'm gonna go to TX and shoot a P&Y. till then, i shoot deer. any, and every.

Just plain awesome Stu!!! Keep hammering em!

I have 3 with a bow so far, all does. Our muzzleloader season this year is January9-12th.

need help stu?

Good job Stu.
