passed up a lot of deer this year, finally decided to fill a doe tag Sunday morning, nice plump girl dressed about 100#. ended up seeing 11 deer total that morning, which was a pretty good morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/FyrepowrX/Hunting%20Pix/beauty.jpg) So far this year i've had a lot of really good shooter bucks on camera..... but only been seeing dinks, or a few promising 2.5yr olds while hunting, and that needed more time to ripen up a bit. Sunday evening i got into a ladder on an oak ridge on my farm that sits above a 2 acre food plot of wheat/rye/clover; about 5:00 i spy a bit of movement in the oaks. I'm pretty damn tickled with this one.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/FyrepowrX/Hunting%20Pix/DSCF4382.jpg)

Nice buck. My friends and cousins back in OK have laid low some bruisers already this fall and gun season is only 3 days old. I haven't made it back for gun season in 9 years now and get to Jonesing something fierce this time of year.

nice deer. I see you changed barrels between deer. What's the story on that?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

nice deer. I see you changed barrels between deer. What's the story on that? i like playing with assorted wildcats and calibers, the morning hunt was on a big clearing where a bit farther shots are possible. In the morning i had a .25x/30-30 Ackley Improved tube on, with a 3x9 Nikon Monarch. That load with 80gr TTSX's shoots at about 3200fps, and averages about .7 MOA. For the evening hunt i was in thicker timber and i stuck on my .445 "Ultra Mag", which is the .445 supermag , long throated to allow 265gr Hornady FTX's or 300gr XTP's to be seated out ; rather than the usual pistol powders (H110/296/Lil Gun) i go to slower powders 4198/Reloder7/LT-30/etc)to get about 2000 fps with 265's. .44mag in the middle, .445 with 265gg FTX's, and 300gr XTP's: ![[Linked Image]](http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b179/FyrepowrX/misc/DSCF4475.jpg)
