2011 Rifle Season Pictures.

My 11 year old got his first deer today! 7 pointer @ 10:30. Love the mentor program.

Nothing to write home about, but as I have stated here numerous times - for me, antlers don't make the deer, antlers make the deer legal.  However, my Dad, who is 87 and still recalls how hunting was a real part of subsistance through the 20's, 30's, 40's, and to some extend much later, and can be a real bear over the holidays if he does not have a deer in his freezer, will now be satisfied that he will survive the winter and I can get on with a non-pressured antlerless season -- as soon as the PGC releases me from the mandatory time out imposed until Saturday.
 

had a flock of blue birds hanging out for about an hour...

Yep, AR is working very well.  This mighty midget would only fit inside about 75% of my pre-Altian racks.
 
Now go get your wolf before someone shoots it for being a mountain lion.

Good job boys!

Come on Shawn - need a story too. Did you shoot it out of that goofy lookin' house thing up in a tree?

Congrats on the deer fellas. Way to go to your son, Jason ! First deer/buck is special.

There is actually a fairly good story, which somewhat involves you to some degree, that you would more than likely find very amusing as you chuckled at my "dummass rifle hunter mentaility."  And, yes, the deer was harvested (killed, whatever) from that de-luxe apartment in the sky.

Well, I want to hear about it.    Did you hunt day two ?  Bet that thing kept you dry.   Have you grabbed the prussic knot and had it drip what seems like a gallon of freezing water down your arm ?


I put one in the scope tonight at 80 yards.  It was painful to watch.  He was really nice.   One of the bigger I've seen.

 
I'll pull something together on it and post.  You will find it amusing.
 
I had no reason to hunt Day Two -- the PGC has me on a mandatory "time out" until Saturday when my Mother's Day Card can be sent.
 
The deer condo does keep one dry.  The first year I had it, it poured for a coupleof days and it was basically like sitting on my back porch -- except for the dousing going to and from.
 
I give the life line rope a decent shake before I attach -- it shakes any water out of the knot and lets me know the darnthing is stall attached solidly enough to keep my fat butt hanging if I do somehting stupider than normal.
 
 

Depends.  What you got.  

My old man shot his weirdo buck on the saturday. It wasn't very big, but I like crazy racks.

got up late...arrived on stand 10:35...10:55 this guy was on the ground...all busted up - ears all torn up

So what is the story with the spruce creek deer Brandon ?


He is one I saw spotting mid November and a guy at local camp got him last Friday evening. He was all rutted up I guess.

 
Here's mine. ZShot at 3:30pm opening day. Not a monster, but decent 3 X 2. It's meat in the freezer and me and my kids have already had tacos and burgers and deer hotdogs. So, it's ok by me.
Don't know whats up withe my goofy grin !! Not a good pic...

Better pic of it. Private property.

Tiffany and Lee would pass that as being "too young"...WF
