Humm, I'm having thoughts of giving the woods 1 more go with the xbow givin the warm temps on Saturday, 40 up there. Why not ? I get bored easily hanging around the house. 3 weekends away from afield is to long for me.
We do have a ice trip or scout planned for Sunday.

With a house full of 9 grandchildren ,my children and wives/husband along with a bunch of more family and friends, it's crazy here.
Is there any windows to jump out of, lol.

Fun stuff is all food we are eating tonight will be from our own hands. Hams, prime rib, pike cakes, veggies, applesauce, peaches, pears, homemade breads, pies and gosh knows what else we're throwing together.

A real Christmas..
Merry Christmas to all .
Peace and tuna

While Christmas is a time to receive gifts, the best ones for me are those passed down from generations.
Yesterday I was given one of those.
It was my mother's 1953 ( after researching the serial number) Remington 222 with peep sight. Getting rounds are very expensive and was lucky enough to get a box included.
There are still a few guns out there from my family that are hard to track down. Never been sold but hard to acquire. Only 2 remain on my search, a Rossi 15 shot pump 22 and a 1950 Remington 270.

Nice Rich- in its day that was considered a premier varmint gun.
 Great Holiday to all.

Thanks, I'm stoked.
I think it was developed for military use, preceding the 22 mag, 223 and finally installed m16.
I'll take and cherish 66 year old generations well served gun. I know it put whitetail down as its center fire legal.

Also on my nice Santa list was a case of made in Mexico, ny.

Welll- thats that as they say--
 
Last day I will hunt this year. Had 2 properties each with a nice mature buck on them.
Never found either lol.
Passed 'lesser' Deer waiting out their grand poppas to no avail.
It was GREAT--

Amazed, still hunting. Antlers started dropping off here almost 3 weeks ago.
I got deer every day now again in my back yard. Can't capitalize because seasons over, they know too.
It was s pretty good season for us . Any harvest of a mature deer is a win , 3 is fantastic and a lifetime deer is cream of the crop.

I already can't wait ( well after spring) till next whitetail season. Lots of new plans and ideas.

A friend who could not get out until the last week spent two days with a DMP permit and saw NO brown, hiked back out to his car at sunset on the last day of the season, and had two nice bucks and three does standing   out in the field adjacent to his car watching him case the gun.  Oh, yes , they know! 

Lucky, I took my son practice driving out in the country.  On the way back a very nice 8 point with a heavy symmetrical rack ran along the car about thirty feet away.  I've seen many a buck and would say this was a good 140 class buck.
