Win, I had the opposite. Walked 11 miles and found one rooster... No complaints though because it's been a low mile year when it comes to birds overall. I've had a pretty low mile year as well. I've had a couple days of really really bad shooting where I had to put a few extra miles on. I have some good GoPro footage I need to edit and figure out how to post it.

NICE looking Brittany! Thanks she just turned 8 months old. She is doing really well. I need to work on retrieving. She is picking them up but not bringing them to hand.

We are on the last stop on this trip.. I had a whitetail tag yet to fill.. Had an excellent spot for nice bucks, but the last few years more and more hunters are in the area.. So the size and number of bucks has gone down.. Cold this am.. The temp was 1 degree.. It took three hits from the .2506 to bring this guy down.. He was in very high grass so my shots were quite limited... Glad to get him, but more and more I like birds.. A guy can put them in his pocket and go on..

The icing on our cake was finding a flock of turkey.. I picked one off with my .22-250.. Thanksgiving dinner is settled.. 63 gr Sierra and 4350 did the job.. More than a dozen turkeys have been taken with this load..

Head shot or body shot? And if its the latter, hows the meat damage? Maggie is Loving it!

Its really good that you take Maggie on all your outings. It will pay huge dividends down the road. Seeing your pics makes me miss my Ingwedog, who did everything with me for a lot of years...

ingwe, I take my dogs almost everywhere.. Sometimes they must sit a while in the pickup while I am off hunting, but they always get to be part of any action even if it is after the fact.. ingwe dog looks like a very happy dog!!! He knew he was loved..
I hit the turkey right at the wing butts.. Both wings were broken.. It just nipped the one breast a bit.. Very little meat was lost.. I get great satisfaction out of making a good shot on a turkey.. Plus I love to eat them...

No special tags...I drew a buck permit in an area where you must apply, but you will get it, then you aren't allowed to hunt mule deer bucks in any other area. Season isn't over yet, I haven't been out and not too sure if I'll go. I'm saving myself for hunting Axis in Texas in the spring. When its warm....... And Ingwedog was a she....I prefer females too. Rommel, my current GSD is the only male Ive ever had.....and I was hoping for a female that time......but the dog was picked for temperament over everything else.
