2015 Firearms Season Deer Thread

Sometimes I don't know whether to shoot or saddle them.

Now that's just plain showing off....

Nice buck, Leadeye! That ought to keep him out of the flower beds!

I'm jealous. Here I sit in the Kingdom of Bahrain, and for the first time in many years, I have missed deer season. We left the states to come here on Nov 12th. I'm used to having a freezer full of deer meat. Now I'm in another country, and eating whatever they have available (lots of lamb and chicken, and something they call beef, though I've never seen a cow here).

First of all thank you for your service.
Second, how long will it take to send you a care package of Jerky? If you think it will keep, PM me directions on getting it to you. I see you are from Bloomington. I killed two deer in the northern part of Monroe County this year. I would be glad to share some Monroe County deer with you.

Was the hat or the tractor your legal orange?
Nice Buck!

Better pic of my buck (yes I'm kinda proud of it)!

Good looking deer!
I like the showing of the kids (barefoot one ) with faces blocked. It's a nice touch without throwing their faces around the web.

The one holding the antler is the 6 year old who nagged me into taking him hunting that afternoon. I owe him!

I'll be heading out in the morning for the final deer hunt of the season.

Was thinking bow for doe tomorrow, but a buddy sent this....

 

[bwframe]

I'm fighting a sinus infection, so likely won't get out. The girl's are ready for backyard action though, just in case...

I need to pick up some scope rings so I can dial in another rifle this weekend.
If I blast something early I can make the gunshow (know a guy that has a set).

Bonus antlerless was / is a bust for us with the river out and completely covering our normal hunting grounds. Will see if I can't get a few ducks in the AM.

Finally got a doe this season, yesterday morning. Had a small group come through right at first light but was not enough light to see fifty yards. Sounded like 4 or 5 to my right and then 1 or 2 to my left. Had some turkey cause a big commotion on the other hill which kicked two down the hill and back up behind me. Caught one while it was looking back about 50-60 yards. Missed the second after I got down as it had not moved far. I think they were twins. The second, I believe it was the same, came back 3 hrs later but was in too much brush and small trees. Wish the season would have ended today instead of yesterday. Thought it was odd that the season ended on a Friday

Correction. just reread the season dates and it ends tomorrow.

Horray!!

Went out this evening. Had a heavy bodied but puny racked basket 7 or 8 come poking along but not a doe to be seen. Maybe tomorrow if I can get out.

No luck today and today was my last day able to hunt. Saw 2 driving there, 1 of which I almost hit with the truck. Jumped 1 walking in, wind was blowing like crazy in the ravines and along the ridge tops. Didn't even see a single squirrel. Oh well, still a good quite, peaceful day in the woods.

Great job! 300blk works great, doesn't it?

Very nice deer. I too was very pleased with 300 blk out of a pistol. Looks like he has some age on him with that grey snout.

The deer or the hunter?

My first year using the 300 BLK and I guess the results speaks for itself. Before this year all I had ever used was a muzzleloader, so kind of nice using a new fangled firearm and round.
