Been a rough last few days of hunting for me. Action has been very slow and several things just have not gone my way hunting wise. But that’s hunting. I’m out tonight with our new foster son. I haven’t been able to get my other boys in the woods yet but he sure wanted to go How great is that? You`re making a HUGE impact there!

Nice buck. Congrats to the young hunter. What bullets were you using may I ask?, I have a lot of experience with the .243 all good btw 95 grain Nosler ballistic tip. Don't get me wrong, the deer is stone cold dead but I'd like 2 bigger holes in the future. 80gr Barnes ttsx, 85gr Barnes tax, Nosler Partition.

My brother-in-law went down to Jasper Pulaski this afternoon to hunt the bow only area and he was turned away because they are only allowing 200 people a day to hunt there due to Covid. I am literally going to lose my mind from the stupidity of this country. On an 8500 acre property, you are only letting 200 people hunt who will all be nowhere near each other, yet I can go to Menards right now and be packed in there with 2000 other people and it’s just fine. I have never heard of something so asinine in my entire life. I will be making phone calls Monday morning raising heck about how ridiculous this is. I have to update this: the property manager clarified that this is NOT due to Covid, but rather due to deer herd management. I totally respect this. The First Lady that he talked to told him it was because of Covid, but she is there trying to do CWD testing and is not an employee of the property. Just wanted to clarify as the information I posted earlier was wrong info. I feel way better now. I was literally about to freak out. 😂😂😂

95 grain Nosler ballistic tip. Don't get me wrong, the deer is stone cold dead but I'd like 2 bigger holes in the future. 80gr Barnes ttsx, 85gr Barnes tax, Nosler Partition. My top 3 The partition in 100 grain. My son took a bull elk at 135 yds with that load, right behind the shoulder and 3 steps it was dead, never recovered bullet as it blew on through

That did in fact make me feel better. I’m sorry for your disappointment of an opening weekend (so far). In sure by your age (what are you , like 85 now?), you’re more than a competent shooter. Let’s both calm the hell down and get some brown down, ya? Lol. I`m 63 1/2, but yeah, I know I need to calm down and kind of hit the reset button. I`m hoping to start fresh tomorrow morning. You do the same buddy, and let us see pictures of your deer tomorrow. I`ll do the same if I ever kill anything again. I came home, got out of my hunting camo, and filled the tank on the truck so I can head out again tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday morning before I have to get back to work. I`ll be out there tomorrow. She breathed her last breath 5 minutes after I sent my last message. 249 yards

I guess I`d better get it in gear, but I`ll NEVER have a kill shot at THAT distance.

Buck down. Not huge rack but super cool. This is just me, but I say, don`t ever apologize for any deer you chose to kill. The deer don`t deserve to be apologized for. And congratulations by the way! Can`t wait to see pictures and celebrate with you!

Easton's season lasted an agonizing 15 minutes into legal light...135 yard high shoulder shot from his 243 and down he went. I will say it'll be the last deer he kills with that gun....took me forever to find the entrance hole with no blood on the deer or the ground. The fur wasn't even messed up. 350 Legend for next year.... awesome

My grandson and I finished off two thermoses of coffee and hot chocolate, two of my special rollup Cajun Turkey sandwiches and about a dozen of grandmas chocolate peanut no bake cookies. The temp was 23 degrees at shooting time but the heater made it feel real nice. Oh yeah we saw 2 does within 20 yards but we didn't feel like taking either one of them.
We will be back out in the morning.
We celebrated the opening of deer season with a Walleye fish fry tonite.
