LOL, yep. I might even break out the only pic I ever...uh, the wife took of deer I've taken with lever guns. I'm what some might call anti social when it comes to pictures. ;~)Ranch Dog wrote:Haah... might have to split the topic with the last couple of replies out into the hunting forum as this is a good subject to continue with. Here are a couple of nice bucks that I have. I think the first will get to walk this year as I think he still a bit young. The second is the one I'm most troubled with. Probably will wait and try to find his sheds and see what happens the following year.
I'm with you guys. I'm a ground hunter exclusively. It's probably been 20 years since I hunted out of a stand. Any more, I just use natural cover or maybe an old piece of cammo burlap I carry with me.rman wrote:I'm like you triggerpull. I really like tree blinds for their advantages, but don't enjoy the cold anymore. I used to bow hunt and the season started on October 1st. Days spent in the blind then were really enjoyable. I don't bow hunt anymore and our firearms season opens the 1st week of December. It's always cold and snowing, sleeting, etc. I haven't deer hunted at all since my heart attack, but I have a 16 year old grandson who is probably going to talk me into it this year. I have a pop-up ground blind and that is probably what we'll use.triggerpull wrote:Nice bucks--hope ya get one. I just bought one of those ghost blinds and am going to give it a go. I like the down-angles and scent dispersion qualities of stands--but I just hate being up there for hours in bitter cold--especially if it's windy and the tree is rocking back and forth.
Yep, It's recure traditional for me Trigger. When gun season isn't open here, I'm somewhere with my ol' 1972 Bear, Super Kodiak trying to stick one.triggerpull wrote:Going hunting tomorrow--small plot of land near developments and it's compound/long bows only--may the force be with me ; )
It's chambered in 30/30 Winchester, Ranch. It's one of the newer ones with the safety on the side. Not one of the more highly coveted guns in the Marlin collection, but it shoots great. Only gun I own that actually likes factory Winchester ammo. LOLRanch Dog wrote:Yes, very nice buck! 30-30 or 35 Rem?
LOL...shoot man. I'll take 'um with the milk drippin' off their chin. ;~)rman wrote:That looks like a nice buck to me jdb! I'm pretty much stuck with hunting on public hunting grounds around here, and I'm happy to harvest about anything that comes along, as long as it isn't a Spring fawn.
