Gunner it's a fact there are to many rifles and not enough deer season. heading to Wyoming for deer and antelope and will take two new custom rifles a 25/06 and a 275 Rigby that I posted pics of here. Rifle season starts Nov 15 and runs for 15 days and there is a late doe season from just around Christmas to Jan 1. I have a nice stand of pines up on a hill that borders a cedar swamp. I can pick my shots at 50 yards + or - so it's a good place for the 38-55 M94 the 348 M71 and the 500 BPE.
I try to max out the season and hunt every day of rifle season and most of the late season. I donate lots of prime venison to the local shelter.

I forgot about the 450-400NE, see to many rifles. In the late doe season you can buy as many tags as you want in my area.

10-4 Elk. That's great news GSP, I hunt two states and am allowed about 12 deer a year, if I'm that lucky a particular year I give a lot of the cut and wrapped meat away, no need for me to be a glut. But I do like shooting the chit outta them just the same.

It might be does only but I love that late season. There no better way to start a new year than by spending the early morning in a deer blind. I gave up the partying long ago in favor of the hunt. 1/1/2016 I took one with the 270 FWT we will see what 1/1/2017 brings:)

Yes, to hell with having hangovers and hanging with drunken idiot friends when there are deer to kill ;]
I'll take a frosty Jan. morning in the woods over all that other glitz crap.

I told my hunting buddy I'd be at the shop at6am 1/1 and if the light was on I'd stop. To my amazement it was on. I stopped and three guys were there still partying and when I asked where the Old Man was the reply "he just went inside and crashed". I went hunting.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

gunner, You just kicked me in the azz. I have a pretty nice pre-war M70 270 Win that I bought some years ago because the price was right. I have yet to shoot it. I have no hunting planned for fall but maybe on the hogs in March.
Conduct is the best proof of character.
