Solving the venison shortage

[StogieGuy55]

Figured there have to be at least a couple other hunters out there that can appreciate this. Been hunting since Thursday afternoon and finally today got something to bring home and put on the table. This has been one of the toughest seasons I've seen but finally success!

Side note, had multiple opportunities for smaller bucks but left them alone in the hopes they are bigger and better next year. Just finished hanging and skinning this doe but I won't post any pictures cause I don't want to upset anyone.

Now it's time for a glass of crown and cigar.

Did not have a good weekend filling the freezer. Missed two nice doe while sitting in the freezing rain. Took my rifle back to the range and found I was 3 inches left and 6 down at 100 yards. Sighted it back in, but never saw anything else. Hopefully this weekend.

Damn, that sucks. I've got one more chance tomorrow morning and then we take off on the 1350 mile trek back to CA. Wish I lived somewhere with decent game.

Im not a hunter but i frequent a local firearms forum and some of the members there seem to be having a lot of luuck this year in the northeast.

Sweet baby Jesus. How did that happen?

Even though I hunt woodchuck all year long with my hunting rifle, I usually spend the weekend before thanksgiving sighting it in just to be safe. This year I worked the weekend before thanksgiving, and hadn't done ant shooting since before we moved. I'm guessing that during the move things got out of wack. Needless to say, I was pissed.

Congratulations. Where are you hunting?

Which rifle, scope, and mount are you using?

 

[problemsolverjc]

Savage 243, nikon 243 bdc, and weaver mounts. Issue was that the windage adjustments got all rotated around.....

Been am NRA marksman since 12....I knew better than to not check them. Noob mistake.

A little short in deer right now... But plenty of pork in the freezer...

Wife and I killed 7 boar a couple of weeks ago...

As always, she proved she was the better hunter.. And brought in the biggest pig... Nailing a 260 pounder at about 60 yards with her .243

The biggest thing I killed was a 125lb oink...

I know what we're serving at the next hillbilly HERF in the spring....

Boar chili? Boar bratwurst? Pulled pork? BBQ ribs? Now I'm hungry. Thx.

The little ones taste better. Tell your wife to go for them first.

Yep

Pretty decent season so far for me. 1 buck and 1 doe, plus a 100lb piggie. Still hoping for my oldest son to bag his first before the end of the year. We're gonna hit 'em hard the last week of December.

1X 75#

she wanted to "beat the boys".... and go for the big one as a trophy...

 

[StogieGuy55]

Nice! That's awesome.

Congrats man. Haven't been out since gun season started in MD. Have 2 does with my bow. Should have been three but nicked one low.

when he says he hunts woodchuck he means he drinks cider and fights with the neighbors

Perhaps I if you were actually hunting you would have caught more.

Weren't you just sitting in a blind waiting for a coincidence
