8 point buck
11/28/11 at 13:43:25

Hi guys

I just hung-up a 8 pointer in the garage to cool off. For my neighborhood thats about as good as it gets.

This is the first one I've shot with a 223 , and it was very inpressive. 62gr.SP made a quater size hole going in , about 3" hole in both lungs, then about a half-dollar size going out. Rib on both side.

There will be Jerky in the dehydrator tomorrow !!! Tongue

Anybody else got lucky this year ?

Coyotes ran off the deer, turkeys and feral pigs. Ducks and geese bypassed the pond this year. West TN and north MS have been off this year for deer.

I got hit by a small doe on Thanksgiving Day.
Yes, I was on my Savage, no, I did not get hurt (but I don't know how not).
She came out of the brush and hit me on the left. Banged my knee into the tank pretty good, but no dent on the tank and no bruise on the knee.
Checked the rear view, and she was down in the road. By the time I got turned around, she had gotten up and ran off.
We were both REAL happy.. and thankful!!

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.

He got a deal on it because of busted headlight shell and signals and cracked fiberglass front fender. Otherwise perfect and beautiful. Owner said he will never ride again. Hit a buck square on, but didn't go down. Rode home and put it up for sale.

Given the way some scooter/MC riders behave this season of the year, I wish we could shoot at 2-legged vermin... Lips Sealed

Anyway, I was a big fan and supporter of thje right to hunt some 20 years ago, mostly because I was a shooting enthusiast.

I somehow fail to see the logic of going out hunting, these days, when there's more food in stores than we could ever actually eat.

I just hunt the squirrels to keep them out of the plantation house. It still has lacquer coated fabric covered wiring. Wouldn't take much of a spark to set off 170 year old wood. And squirrels love to chew on wiring.

The snapping turtles are a menace too. And as common as the squirrels here. Have one with a head almost the size of a football... probably pushing 100 years old, scares the locals into NOT fishing my pond. He can stay...

I've put about $300.00 worth of red meat in the frezzer this year while doing something I enjoy doing. How much better could it get ?

That would be 70 lbs of (98-2) ground , four sholder roast and four backstraps (tenderlon)16#. Come to think on it .... probley more than $300.

You ever try the "Iron Turkey" shooting game ?
Back befor I had Livestock to take of and more time on my hands I played the pistol version a couple years. Its fun and feels great when the targets go over , not quite as good a deer hunting but close.

you still shoot any ?

Oh yea
Bill , You have to do the two legged kind a hole different way !

I agree. I love shooting but where is the 'sport' of shooting at something that can't shoot back? Where are the Zombies when you need them?
