Morning deer hunt.

I'm getting my gear ready to go in the morning. I made sure I had a pen in the pack to write out the "temporary tag" when it's needed. I usually just make extra copies of my license then write down the harvest date, sex, etc. Which brought to mind that I didn't have a license to make copies of. Fortunately you can buy a license online now and print them off. So that's taken care of. I seriously came close to going in the morning without a license.

    Thanks. I'm hunting private ground so I'm taking a rifle. I have Tikka T3 lite in 300 wsm. I have other rifles but this one is all it's marketed as and I have tons of ammo for it.

    Well, hopefully you'll only need one bullet.

    I can imagine a field full of cows with cow on their sides or bunch of horses with "HO" 'cos dude sprayed the letters too big :lol::lol::lol:. Now it be funnier if he wrote "burger", "chuck", "T-Bone" on the cattle.

    I've fired this rifle three times in the field. Killed two bucks and a coyote. This year I've bought a three tag bundle, good for one buck and two antler-less or three antler-less.

    I still remember my grandfather had a concrete deer in the front yard - and it getting shot at every year - grandma would dress it in an orange vest and hat and it still got shot up...

    Grandpa said he remembered as a boy taking orange spray paint and printing cow or horse on the sides of livestock in big letters - or putting them in barns on the first day or two of the season...

    Did your grandfather ever catch you? :shock:
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    Got my 1st deer this afternoon. Adult Doe. There were three of them could've easily gotten a 2nd.
    Spotted a nice big buck this morning but didn't get a shot at him.

    I don't have a pic to post (yet) but I can tell you that I didn't fire a shot today yet I'm as happy as anyone could possibly be. My blind Veteran hunter (USMC Gunnery Sargent wounded in Iraq) made a one shot kill on a management buck this evening. I don't wish to denigrate anyone's successful hunt but give some extra credit where it's due.
    I'll go hunting for myself tomorrow before I begin the 250 mile drive to get him headed home.

    Good job fellows. Great for the blind vet to get out and great work helping him Mobuck.

    I just came in for a snack and something to drink. Now it's off to the garage to skin and quarter deer number two.
