53A Deer Hunt

Well we had another good deer hunt despite the warm weather as we harvested a small buck and a doe opening morning.
opening morning on our first run 5 mins in one of the guys shot a small buck and at the end the run one of the sitters shot a doe. Second morning my wife's cousin missed 2 does and one of the other guys had a nice 8 pointer at 30 feet but forget to load the first shell in his rifle and by the time he loaded the shell well the buck just ran away on him. Saturday i had a nice buck walking at about 250 yards in the hardwoods but had no shot and at the end of that run i had 2 does at 30 yards but my wifes uncle had the last doe tag but went home on Thursday night as he came down with the flu. All in all it was a good hunt and everyone seen deer and had a good time.Attachment 44262Attachment 44263

Good hunt, congrats. Is that a Savage 99 or a Winny 88 I see?? What cal? ....................Daniel

Sounds like some good numbers your way. Congrats on your success.

Congrats!

Congrats on the week's hunt

congrats. I wonder how many people have missed deer because they forgot to put shell in chamber. i have done it, also have forgotten to load a shell in when I took one out when someone comes up. Then end up with just one shot as the rest are in my pocket.

Great hunt

Good job,congrats

Nice hunt! We hunt the same area and tagged out opening day.

Do you hunt with dogs?

Boogaloo that's a Savage 99 in 308 a really sweet gun

Dean F no dogs just human doggers and I'm one of them still enjoy dogging rather than sitting shot more deer than the sitters this way plus I find you get to see mor deer

Watch out where that gun is pointing ! Hahahahaha

Congratulations and thanks for sharing that story. Reminds me of a time a few friends and I were pushing a small wood lot and a fawn ran behind one of the doggers and just stood there at 20 feet. The guy aimed, pulled the trigger and “click”… no shell in the chamber. The fawn just about jumped out of its hide and ran off. The rest of us were just rolling on the ground laughing. Stuff like that makes for good memories and good laughs years later!
