Deer Time

Here is last years deer. Posing with my little rifle.

Here's the deer I shot last year, on cam about ten minutes before I shot him.

This is the buck I was hunting.

Instead I shot a 200lb massive eight point.

He's still around, I trust.

Just pulled the Ruger #1 7X57 Mauser out of the box for the first time since I shot the big buck last year. I replaced the one missing shell in the 5-shot cartridge case. Good to go.

Trim a couple of branches and I'm set. Not going to shoot anything SMALLER than I have already killed. I'd rather just sit. The sitting part would be just fine, all by itself.

Update: Sat in the tree a little this evening. Still waiting to see the first deer of the year.

Pulled deercam cards, just a couple of does wandering around.
