Deer and elk in eastern Oregon. I’ll have bear and cougar tag just in case.
I’ll be Using deer season as a scouting trip for elk since J drew the same unit.
I’ll have my boy with me so it’s going to be lots of fun.
Fishing, shooting and what not. He’s only 8, and it will be his second deer season and he can’t wait. Last years deer we got on some elk that were still in rut. Had my cow call, and Called one in ... I think he is hooked.
I’m a lucky dad

Deer, Turkey, and Black Bear

I am hunting deer and wild hogs in Florida within a 21,000 acre wilderness preserve owned by Manatee County. A hunter must comply with a few administrative details to receive a license to hunt the property but well worth it. 30-30 is a keeper!

Utah LE deer. West Desert / Vernon with a MZ. Head down there at the end of the month.

Local blacktails here during the rut.

September 28-29, taking my two (12 & 15 yr-old) sons deer hunting during youth-only rifle weekend in Virginia (home state for the time-being), like we have been doing for years.







October 12-16, I will be rifle-hunting either-sex elk in this place on NF land in Colorado.



October 19-27, I will be rifle-hunting these mule bucks and their friends on my land in Colorado, which is 20 miles away from the elk spot. Today, I drove up to and on my land and saw these five big bucks grazing. You can barely see them in the upper right.



So, I drove past them and around and behind this rock on my land, which they were grazing just below.

I drove past them, parked the truck by my cabin, and went up on the rock. I couldn’t see them at first, but they were grazing in the trees just below the rock.



After about 15 minutes, they bedded down in the trees under the rock.



Last year during deer season when I didn’t have a deer tag, likely the same big guys would be grazing the meadow below the rock around a half-hour before sunset every day. I bought the land a few years ago, and I don’t think the deer have been hunted there for decades.

One of them is going to end up on my wall and in my freezer, and it likely won’t take more than the first day.

Only question is whether I should use my .340 Wby or give them a break and only use my .300 Win Mag. Some days last year, they only came within about 500 yds of the rock. So, it might be the former, as I shoot more accurately than any other rife. Typical three-shot 100-yd groups:
