Out sluicing again when there's chores to be done I see.
Well, someone's got to do it, I just wish it was me!
Nice deer Sam. A Dog in the pic always adds to it.
Now, did you get any work done at all?

Thanks guys.
Marty, rifle was the ol' M700 ADL in 270 shooting 140 Accubonds(aka the horse gun). Complete with a 6x36LR Leupold and bedded tupperware stock(gasp....grin). It has now taken my 5 biggest whitetails.
The grass was so tall I couldn't see the deer until they were right in the ditch where I was laying. About a 4-5 foot window to shoot and I was afraid to ball my fingers up to stay warm because they were almost jumping across the ditch with very little time to shoot.
Bob, I'm just glad the breeze was blowing the right direction! And not bad for a $700 rifle/scope. Carhartts of course...
Mule deer hunting is another story...
Fancy boots, clothes, rifle, backpack, laser, gps, spotter, tripod, binos. Hate to add it all up and it only gets used one or two days a year. Whhaaaaaaa...grin
Geno, just a shotgun in the pickup now. You never know when you'll see a rooster while 'fixing fence' or 'checking cows'......
If there's any cocky coyotes around during calving the 243 MT will be riding along. A guy would go nuts if you didn't try to make work at least a little fun!

Nice buck there, Sam! I'd say the dog was right about forgiving you for being late to take care of business on that one. Congratulations!

Ain't nothing wrong with that one Sam! Enjoy the fried backstrap!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and do it over again in 2016!!
I didn't get one in Kansas a while back; guess I'm just too dang choosy for my own good! But I had a good time watching the lesser bucks!
Take care!
