Ingwe should be like Trump and not be swayed by bribes.
Mine's the real deal. It took a lot of blood sweat and tears to get him. I didn't have to stand in line at the liquor store with the EBT Card tribe.😜

My Ohio dink is right there with the best. I had a 3600 mile trip to get that "dinker". I should at least get the air miles.

I have a sure fire way to derail this bribe stuff. Don't make me throw the ace.
When does this contest end?

Just a reminder. This one was pretty dinky. OK, I've got a true contender. This one won't take more than a case of Blantons. It's doe's (Antlerless) only right now for muzzle loader. Got it this morning. I thought damn sure it was a doe, but it was just the bigger of the two. Turned out to be a 29 pound weakling.

OK, yesterday I returned with a real live dead dink. Though not even a serious contender, it represents my effort, so far, this year. Our property abuts a small river, easily forded by deer. The other bank is on the leased property of a hunt club that drives it. Apparently, nobody on their side of the river has learned that their deer are running across this "river" to get away from the drives. I have. 5 deer in two years......I thank you guys over there.... I hear whoopin' and hollerin', finish my coffee, and shoot deer when they walk by, thinking they are safe.....I hope this relationship continues.... The deer are usually not Dinkathon material, but this one came by yesterday and it looks as if this might be my best chance. Poobs, we'll probably have to talk about a couple things, one being getting this deer competitive, second being for God's sake, don't tell them guys across the river......

I know. This hasn't been a stellar year for dinks, at least for me.
Now that doe season is in, maybe an accidental nubbie can be harvested. Something an accompanying "junk" pic would be a necessity for verification.

Do you suppose the sight of the stock of your rifle may have killed that dink instead of a bullet....just askin.

Ain't much of it he can see when it's pointed at him. I haven't lost it, either. It stands out in the leaves while you gut deer, which that rifle is responsible for happening quite a bit. It's hard to hunt Turkey with..... For your viewing pleasure....(grin) ]

1nut, I normally don't name rifles, but when it came in, my daughter told me how ugly she thought it was.
I told her it was the same colors that are "official Harley Davidson". She said it looked "Halloweenie", and I could hunt in a pumpkin patch with it.
I asked her if she understood the relationship between Charlie Brown and the Great pumpkin. Her answer was "yes, not much different than yours with deer....".
That rifle has been called the Pumpkin since, and even the guys I hunt with call it that...
I DO see a deer once in a while, though......
And, I do appreciate your taste in McSwirlys. Particulars? Mine is a Howa LW in .308, VX-2 CDS in Talleys.

Vic, Your daughter seems to be a real personality. Intelligent and clever.
Mine is a 60 black, 40 orange hanging on an 8 twist Remington 700 in 260 rem. I love the cartridge and couldn't resist when Big Green decided to get the twist right. I did a little work to it, and it shoots 140 NABs into a nice little cloverleaf with a Leupold 3.5-10 on top. Its a rifle I often reach for.
Love the Howas. One of the most consistently accurate factory rifles I've shot, matching my out-of-the-box experiences with Tikkas...

I have to pay close attention to what she says, lots of "dry" humor, sometimes. She has an opinion and will let you know what it is. Sometimes nicely....
Building a rifle on a 700 action, now. I haven't had too many Remingtons, but friends have had tons of them and they are certainly well supported in the aftermarket.
I'm going with a Pac nor barrel in.308 Win., Timney trigger, Leupold VX5HD 2-10X42, and going to give Grayboe a whirl for the stock, they seem to be pretty good and I got it about 452 weeks sooner than a Mickey. Only thing outstanding now is the barrel.

Good luck with the build. Sounds like a nice rig. I've been looking at the Grayboe offerings. The Outlander looks like it might suit me. Seems like a pretty decent value. Let me know how it turns out.
I just ordered a VX5HD 2-10 for a 7mm-08 700 Mountain Rifle/Ti knock-off. Seems like an excellent scope. We'll see.
