Not the Mr. BIG I'd been seeing pre season but he'll do for this year.
Took this the first morning at 10am as I was about to call it quits for the day. Since hanging around with you guys I'd rather test rifles and ammo at the range punching paper. I just can not sit still for long anymore, I'm like I have ants in my pants...
Rifle used this time was a older model Winchester Feather Weight in 30.06 with a Vortex Crossfire II scope. Range is about 200 yards. You can see my little hunting shack in the background. I hope everyone had a safe hunting season this year. First deer I'd taken with a modern rifle in a long while, I usually use a different type of older military weapon each year.

Nice deer and hunting spot. Am I the only one who thinks that would be a great valley for a private shooting range????

Good job.

A really nice buck and fairly long shot with the .30-06. Looks like you have a great place to hunt.

Thats the best shot, the neck shot drops them and no bloody mess inside.

I'm taking donations to the LC44 deer burger chili fund.

I bet if you advertise that at your gunshop, you will be overflowing in venison, Better yet someone will take you on a hunt. People love to be nice to the aged.

They do, you are right, we have guys that have farms and shoot them as pests. Nice corn fed venison.

How did they turn out.

Sometimes a young whippersnapper will take an aged party to the woods and the whippersnapper is never heard from again.

Muy beano. I have to ration it to myself, or I'll eat too much and get a deer meat butt plug .

The basic black bomber. Smoking the ven . Someday I hope I can stack up a a 4 rack masonry smoker made by the ol Mason that lives here. Oh dammit I can't lay block anymore. This old black one will do.

Wow. I can smell that.

WE are eating it in the work truck, mid morning and lunch, 4 days a week. I started back working out , lost 8 lbs. and feel good. Smoked Ven Goode. And gorp and dried fruit and greens and the other major food groups.

I'm almost afraid to ask but what the hell is gorp??

Good Old Raisins & Pnuts. Trail mix. People kibble.

Well, damn, I thought it was some kind of secret sauce or something most people wouldn't eat.
