My deer stand

Member Posts: 40,521 ✭✭✭✭
I really don't have to scout for deer, as my stand is in a natural funnel, from an old Junk yard, bedding area, to a abandon apple orchard. The deer pass right down this strip of woods, 300 yards wide, by about three miles long. Went back today to remove some leaves around the base of the tree, for Monday morning. It seems like there is a rub on every other tree and scrapes all over.As I was walking out, I jumped three deer. One doe and two bucks. Couldn't tell what they were, but they had antlers. I didn't bow hunt because of my hand and wrist, but I will be there for Muzzle loader on Monday. I went and bought a shooting stick, to rest the gun on. I tried shooting one handed with it today and I put six shots withing a 1" area, at 75 yards. Good enough. Oakie

Good luck on the deer hunt.
KC
Come on now! 6 shots one handed within an inch at 75 yards? Annie Oakly couldnt even do that. Was she related to you? I cant hit a paper plate 6 times at 75 yards with any of my 3 muzzleloaders. I would need pictures certified by a priest. Lol
With the shooting stick. It is like bench resting Jim. Ray Charles could do that[:D]I will post a picture for you honey. Be back soon.I have to go get father Grab A. Dollar to certify it for ya.LOL
Sorry Jim, took me a few minuets to poke holes in the target with a stick. LOL.Oakie Yes there are six holes, not 5[;)]
I don't see the "certified by a Priest," part. [:0][}:)]
Damn that's ugly boy! When're you getting the body and fender work done?
As soon as the doctor gives the thumbs up on the skin condition. All the cracks have healed, so now I just need his stamp of approval. He wanted the skin to heal so I wouldn't get infections. I went last Wednesday and he said give it a few more weeks to heal. I still have two spots to heal up. Hopefully , right around Christmas, when I get slow and can take time away.

So you are going to assassinate one when they come eat food that is waiting for them.
C'mon. Its not like it's a corn pile, in his backyard, or anything. [:0][xx(]

Must be confusing to the deer when they eat corn, apples, pears, or deer mix bought at a feed store when no trees are around. [:)]

I place fake trees, all around to alleviate that particular problem.
