This is the 2016/17 deer season in Woodville Mississippi. BIL killed this 4 point 215 LBS in November - thats not a normal rack for a 200lbs deer in woodville - cull buck we said ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_1914.jpg) I killed this nice 8 point 195lbs on Jan 7th - We had snow, that only happens maybe once every 5 years. ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_1954.jpg) I Killed this 9 point on Jan 28th ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_1972.jpg) BIL killed this 9 point on Jan 29th ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_1988.jpg) and on the last day of the season we both killed a buck. I killed this 7 point on Jan 31 ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_1995.jpg) And BIL killed this 8 point on Jan 31 ![[Linked Image]](http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/jsimoneaud/IMG_2012.jpg)

Nice bucks. You must have a pretty generous bag limit. That's some handy dandy little sleds you have there. So I guess you guys don't gut them in the woods, you take them home and clean them?
Personally, I leave that schit in the woods.

Hey Stone, that is on our 600 acres. We have a cabin and a cleaning shed. we bring all deer back to the camp and weight them on the hoof. We have a 2 wheel Gut bucket that can hold 2 deers guts. We have a gut dump about 80 yards from the camp, the guts don't stay there long.
The sleds were bought either on Amazon or Northern Tools and we altered the connection to take a 2 inch ball on the back of our bikes. We only use bikes to recover deer. We have a very quiet 4 wheel drive truck we use to drop off and pick up hunters.

I like the sleds. Good work.

I know the [bleep] here would make you drag them onto the sled after they were dead. [bleep] deers.

About an hour ago on the lawn. Quite often they will be right at the edge of the deck, this one was about 50 ft away. Had 9 head of elk on there yesterday. ![[Linked Image]](http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab220/iamdrover/ba547a53-c0a0-47bf-b17a-f5dad29a30f4_zpsfurvrja6.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab220/iamdrover/ram20facing_zpsw7ksr8pn.jpg)

NO! those SOB's we can't get them into the sled on thier own, neither before or after we shoot them! Then when we get to the skinning shed, they just lay there, can't get um to get up and go lay down in the shed!!! LMAO

Drover, that ram is looking a little hippy. Id probably try to put it out of its misery with a little alfalfa.

At first look, those sleds are pretty slick, but they are the result of the damned deer not trotting up and putting their necks in the noose to be gutted. If they'd do that, the expense of the sled wouldn't be necessary. Deer are some sorry mofos when you think about it.

13 feet and 600 pound dinosaur. Stuck him with a manual harpoon and fought him for 2 hours before getting a good shot in the skull. Took 3 shots to stun him. 5 to kill him. They just don't know how to die. ![[Linked Image]](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu149/xarcher_4/2011%20Gator/DSCF1274.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu149/xarcher_4/2011%20Gator/DSCF1263.jpg)

Ed Had the hide tanned and the head mounted with jaw open - Sorta like in that one picture with me holding his jaw open. Got about 85 pounds of meat that I mostly gave away. It happened in 2010 and I remember the whole thing like it just happened this morning. Like I said, we fought this joker for 2 hours. In a 16 foot jon boat!

Love that rifle. Details on it?
Thanks
Sir, sorry for the tardy response. Haven't visited this thread for a bit. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/KC9A2291.1_zpsegug5xk2.jpg) top: Merkel K3 Jagd Stutzen, 308 Win. bottom: Merkel K1 Jagd Stutzen, 7mm-08 ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/KC9A2288.1_zps5w3byfpe.jpg) The rifle and bear is the 7mm-08 and the 308 Win, K3 with a hoglet I perforated. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Rifles/k3firstblood_zpspdtlbvxs.jpg) Not having fondled one before I took delivery on the first one I was wondering if the diminutive size and weight would make them feel like a toy. I made the mistake of getting the fat part of my palm between my thumb and index finger caught when I closed the action. They lock up like a vault. A snapping turtle ain't got nuthin' on these dudes. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Merkel/KC9A3293_zpsoprwo6hj.jpg) They break down and pack easy. ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/Merkel/KC9A3290_zpsasrmb6ni.jpg) I prefer the Recknagel twist mounts on the K1 to the Blazer style saddle mounts on the K3. However both return to zero every time they are re-mounted I usually go in heavy, ![[Linked Image]](http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e129/glenn1221/DSC03840.jpg) but broken down, it will go in the tour pack if going in light! ya! GWB Absolutely beautiful. They're art. Thanks for the response and additional pics. Now I can keep drooling
