I was gonna go walk the CRP today, but for some reason, I feel like I should go walk the hardwoods.
Since I really avoid that place cause I don't want to drag deer up and down hills, I'm going to go with my gut.

Not a "live from the woods" since I rarely get a signal there. But, doe down with the new to me Mossberg Patriot in 308 from 52 yards. I wanted her to close the gap so I could join jajwrigh with a shot from my handgun, the Kimber Rapide in 10mm. Didn't happen that way and after watching her 15 minutes or so, hoping that she would draw a buck in, I decided to let the 308 Fusion fly. Craziest part was watching her do a complete forward flip in the air some 70 yards after the shot. She had hit a bit of old, mangled barbed wire with her front legs that catapulted her into the air, piling her up on the other side of the fence!

Congratulations on a fun, cool hunt, and thank you for letting me live vicariously through your great hunt.

LOL, yes you do, you need meat in the freezer, don't ya? Like was said earlier, even if you don't get one, there will be plenty to go around. The farmer wants me to hold off on hunting his place, he saw a great buck that he wants to go after with his lever gun. So, I'll be spending a lot of time down there during the ML season. Gotta get that dialed in now, I thought I could retire it for this year if I was able to get enough time in during rifle season. Got a different scope to slap on it. Dang, now that brings up a thought. Do I have the correct rings???

Congrats HCG!!! All I saw today were a few squirrels. I really need to get the can ordered for next year. shooting a subsonic load from a bolt action .22 LR Rifle should keep things quiet. I chrono'e the thing the other day, 875 fps @ 20 feet. 60g Aguilar Subsonics.

I’ve got the thunderbeast 22 takedown for my cz455 I shoot the CCI suppressor .22lr 975 fps 45 grain hp bullet. It’s awesome.

Set up 20 yards in off the field edge. South end of the woods with a north wind. Bit of a rain mix now in Noble county but its pleasant out. Saw them in the fields driving up. Got my nice wife monitoring my crockpot full of deer ribs so I can feast when I get home.

Took the climber for a long walk back to a tree I used to call “the recliner”. HUGE tree with roots that are spread out like arm rests when you sit against it. I rarely come back here due to the thickness of some of the spots I have to go through , but I hoped the rain (and 12 mph north with that I need) would allow me to get in quiet enough. Lots of buck sign back here, some rubs above my shoulders.
3+ yo buck or a fat bottom girl would do just fine today , but if I make a harvest it’s going to be hell getting out lol
Rain stopped for now , and squirrels / birds are starting to make their way out.
