Brian...good call on letting the jumbo sinks walk...but waiting for a 10 point?
You need to get into the spirit of the competition...
It don't take much for me to get a shot at something, even with the little guns, and it dont take much time either...stunt shooting at its best.
But Im heading to Texas with the Heavy Artillery...a 6.8 spc and ( Horrors!) a .30-06 for Nilgai, since Texans seem to be convinced that they are bullet proof...

Finally, I think I might have shot at this. Don't want to take him out though unless the judge/s think he has serious potential. Had this rack been intact, I'm sure he'd be out of the running. Obviously he has experienced some serious fights over the girls this fall, and with deductions for the broken right side, he just might have a chance. Also, do we have classes for mule deer, white tail, and black tail? This happens to be a mulie. What say ye?

Coues deer hunting in Kansas? Why yes! They migrate up from southern Arizona every year specifically to enter the trajectory path of my bullet. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

But Im heading to Texas with the Heavy Artillery...a 6.8 spc and ( Horrors!) a .30-06 for Nilgai, since Texans seem to be convinced that they are bullet proof... The 10 point is still out there. Plus, I saw a main frame 10, but had some split tines. I couldn't get a real good look at him, but I saw him twice within 12 hours. I've passed up a couple of 8's in hopes of getting a shot at one of the big boys. I still have my shotgun tag, so I might take an 8 point if I get the chance because I still have my bonus buck tag that I can save for a wall hanger. There seems to be a lot of Bambi's wandering around. You never know, if a dink comes along that doesn't have more than an inch of exposed horns, he might just take a slug. I had to look up what the hell a Nilgai is. They're pretty big. Maybe the Texans are using .270's.

Also, I missed a doe at 130 yards because I suck. But I got this doe on Thursday. It's the only thing I shot last week. We still have all of this week for firearms, then muzzle loader comes in on the 16th.

Still no luck on a Dink. Will try again this weekend. In the meantime...

I have a late entry. This is my friend's first deer on his first deer hunt. He made a 350 yard shot on it. At that distance, I had to look at him for forever through 15x binos to determine that he did have an antler!

Alright, here's Colorado Bob's Dink. I think he might have the winner, but I'll have to let the judge determine that. I'm a little curious about the trick shooting that occurred on this hunt.

Awww hell, that's a monster.......(grin) Couesdeer, ^^^THIS^^^ However, 350 yards is pretty impressive, especially with such a small target. I hope he had fun and maybe it's the first of many.

Pooh-Bah,
With humility, gratitude and sincere appreciation I submit this extraordinary specimen into the esteemed, prestigious, enduring challenge of the "Dink-a-thon".
