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
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

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!

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: Do I sound excited?

I'll just be home on the range in Minnysota this year. 'Got my eyes on a big bruiser not too far from home here. If I somehow match up with him, pics will be posted-this one might actually need measured.

I have built a number of rifles. I have a number of tags. But like last year the wife will call when 4 tags are filled and say, "No more room in the freezers".

Hunting only in-state; Whitetail deer, coyotes, and if I’m lucky, maybe a bobcat.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
