Rifle Season

[Guest sneakboxer]

Whiskey, That one is a 300 Savage. The scope and mounts are period Bausch and Lomb BalVar. I think it's a 1-3 power. No adjustments in the scope, they are in the mounts. It's still bright and clear. That is one accurate rifle.

Nice doe with your old rig. Those 99's sure are sexy and the vintage scope and mount make it even better. And to think that some people believe that you need a supper-dupper mag with a 6x24x50mm scope to kill a whitetail.

Just got home from hunting Kodiak Island deer this week, wished I could be down there and chasing some more deer Good luck to all you and hope you hang up a nice one. Jeff

I use a Primos "Doe in heat" can. My 10 pointer and my Daughter's 12 pointer fell for it. There must be something to these calls. They were used in conjuction with "Doe Pee".

I came up empty handed this weekend. Best I did was spooking a deer up when I was coming out of the woods Friday evening.

I did get to take my nephew deer hunting for the first time yesterday. I had my pop up blind already set up but the wind didn't care and came from our backs all day. Oh well, I think he enjoyed getting to go. We did have a deer behind us bleating a lot but she never would come out where we could see. Here is a pic I snapped of him in the blind sitting next to me.

Looks like he could rob a squirrel LOL.

Nice....bought my nephew a savage model 10 for Christmas will be taking him for the first time. He wants to hunt coyotes. Told him he had to crawl before he walks.

/agreed however where I hunt I use the .300 winmag to shoot across the ridgetops where it can be a 300-500 yard shot. I like using my model 94 .32 Winchester special with no scope for other areas. That reminds me I'm Thinking aboutselling my old model 70 chambered in .300 winmag, you know want it. Heh.

Thanks. Did Clay county get bumped from unit L to unit A?

No we didn't get bumped. We've been in Unit a for a while now. I just don't know why we're not in the Quota hunts this year.

Here's the dude I shot at last year. FIL popped him last weekend, I just got the pic.....

I see. I can't believe you don't even have a quota doe hunt! Macon county borders you, and we can shoot three does a day....no quota.

Yeah its really STRANGE this year. I know some areas have had some CWD die offs the last 2 or 3 years. Maybe thats it.

[Guest GunTroll]

TN has confirmed CWD?

[roverboy]

Well Guntroll, thats what everybody said it was that was killing some deer. Maybe it wasn't confirmed. I don't really know for sure.

[roverboy]

Oh, I really hate to admit it but I missed a good deer Monday evening about dark. I don't know if I just plain missed or if the scope is off because I've not shot it to check. He was a good one. Looked like a good 8 point or maybe better. It happens sometimes. Its the first Ive missed in several years.

[ShaunM]

I'm still seeing deer just nothing I want to shoot right now. Just small bucks, I'm still wondering were all the good bucks went that I seen while out coyote hunting. Maybe I need to just try a new tactic or something.

All smart butty aside I actually thought of doing that ha ha.

[iyaoyas98]

Its gonna be mighty cold and windy in a few hours, but I just know tomorrow is the day.

For me to lose some toes to frostbite.

Gotta give the 30-30 one last chance to bark, I'm not sure I'll get the time to go in two weeks. Good luck to everybody headed out in a bit.

[Jasongar8]

You guys be careful out there tomorrow. It's going to be the coldest we have seen all year.

[roverboy]

I didn't get to go all day yesterday or this morning, because my daughter got a bad stomach virus. I've been sitting with her. Maybe this evening I'll get to go. She seems to be on the mend. The deer around here seem to be dwindling down as far as the rut goes. They seem to be looking for food more. I missed a good buck about a week ago because my rifle was shooting about 10 inches high at 100 yards. Maybe I'll see him again. Good luck to everybody that went this morning.

[Guest GunTroll]

I'm cold sitting here at my desk! I feel for you guys in the tree's. And at the same time I envy you as well.

[Guest billwilly73]

Thank God for shooting houses, blankets, and propane heaters. Cold this morning. Didn't see anything except a beautiful sunrise and some birds. Gonna try to go back this evening and hope to see some deer this time.
