I bagged 2 does on 15 Sep 08. I didn't have my camera at the time. They were both young (no spots though). Taste great!

They're coming into town daily around here. Lady in a Navigator bagged (?) one as I drove by this week, and I almost did the same on a huge buck Tuesday. Find the river and the deer will find you.

Going with my father for the first time Thanksgiving Week up in the PA mountains. I've been with him during field dressing when I was a kid, but besides that I've never been hunting.

Got three Thursday with the .54 muzzleloader. 2 does ran by me, the first one went down and about 15 minutes later her friend came back to check on her and joined in the fun. In the evening, I took my 8yo nephew out with me. He did great and even experienced his first gray squirrel alarm. The little guy ran across 6 trees to see what was sitting down in his woods and then let us know he wasn't happy. The little buck was the third taken, the two does were hanging by this time. Nephew enjoyed hmiself, stayed still, and didnt complain about the cold and wet. After the muzzleloader smoke cleared, he was still shaking like a leaf, and asked if we could go again in the morning. He's hooked!

Pardon my face camo, my "makeup artists" have a combined 7 years of age and did a bit of playing . Nephew was afraid he'd spook the deer without his paint on, so we had to go back to the house to grab it and get him all done up too. 150 pounds of meat in the freezer. The flank steaks will go to jerkey, and the hearts made excellent anticucho (recipe from this site) over brown rice.

He went down @ 261520R DEC 08. Already looking forward to next year. This one was definitely the best of this years deer season ( 4 kills total). Unless the urban season has something to yield.

Hunting a field standing behind a hay bale. 135# doe at 200m with a Remington 700 .300 Win Mag with fluted Sendero barrel and 6.5-20x50 Leupold scope. Field dressed in the dark. Now at the butcher for steaks, sausage, and hamburger.

I took a Whitetail doe yesterday evening at about 35 yards with a 16" AR using 75gr. TAP. Heart shot and she ran uphill about 35-40 yards in a gnarly cedar thicket and fell dead. 5.56 most certainly did the job, but that small exit wound made tracking of blood sign difficult at best, with the only blood having been at the sight of the impact and where we ultimately found her balled up. I saw a very nice 8 pointer yesterday morning but he was at about 105 yds walking dead away and I did not have a stable rest from which to shoot, nor did I want to chance a,"Texas Heart Shot" with the 5.56 . This was my first deer, and she field dressed out at #65. Unfortunately no Pics.

Good times,
Blake

Well I finally managed to down a deer last week of season, nice sized buck that had shed. Then I started planning a 10 day Elk trip to CO right up till the wife reminded me of the promise to take her some place warm and lazy for vacation. So no Elk this year
