So I shot this little twerp today, lone deer, small, looking for corn the turkeys missed under the feeder. I had doubts about it surviving due to snow that’s knee deep on me in the shallow spots. My daughter was with me and wanted to learn how to gut a deer. Had an antlerless tag, shot I shot it with the Creedmoor (more on that later) and it took off. Found it, looked at it, by all accounts a doe. Roll,it over and my daughter says, “is that what I think it is? Yep, it’s a buck. Felt the head and found nubs. Would enter it, but they aren’t visible above the hairline at all. In the words of Brando, “I coulda been a contender!” In any case, my kid wants to be a surgeon, so she got a cervid anatomy lesson, and I kept my pants clean. She’s hooked.. the Creedmoor? A 120 gr. Ballistic tip leaves an entry wound like a grenade when moving at about 2850 at impact, but still exits. Will think twice before using again,

A liberal bribe of the appropriate age will have nubs appearing everywhere...... ![[Linked Image]](https://www.bestofwhisky.com/media/wysiwyg/Produkten/Blanton_special_reserve_online_for_sale_250.jpg)

OK..the Judge has been reviewing this thread and the entries therein. Likewise doing a review of his regretfully empty Whiskey cabinet...The contest goes till Jan 31...a final determination will be made and a winner announced at that time.
Stand By....

I thought it might be a different kind of influence on the esteemed judge of this institution. My birthday is Friday 2/2. It would be a heck of a birthday present to be "Crowned Champion" on the Dink-A-Thon.

I believe I'm still leading with no bribes needed. I'll check in Friday after I'm done with work in the morning. Maybe after my nap.
Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.
