Today my son scored on a nice Texas 8 point with a 99EG in 250. Bullet was an 87gr Sierra with VN 150. Clean pass thru at 100 yards. Ran 30 yards and dumped. We hunted with Oldgunsmith at his ranch. As always, we had an excellent time! ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/W3rQThkF/D9-DD6228-633-E-46-F2-87-C6-D8-FE6-EBA5-D67.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Dy5RvV8g/09-E2-E56-E-8961-49-BF-B33-A-D25-FDF0-BD25-C.jpg)

Way to go Joe! Pretty nippy back there. I was going back to make sure I didn't miss any pics, and thought about this. Two weeks ago it was nasty windy, wind gust up to 50, in the 20's and 30's. Last 3-4 days it's been T-shirts, shorts and Krocs. My buddy John, got an 8 point, 3 on one side and 5 on the other and a pretty 9 point, missing one tine. Both shotgun County.
I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.

I was taking a last look around, before I climbed down and I see a deers hind quarter s a big beech tree was between us, it took a couple of steps, after the shot I looked at my phone, still had 3 minutes of shooting time left.

Yes late doe season on private land only. Hole northern lower this year! Dnr seems to want all the does killed off. Could take 12 does per person. One for me, and the buck I got in bow will keep us in meat., I still have another tag, but think season is done.

Congrats to your son, Jeff. It's good to see Oldgunsmith again too. Saddlering - well played! Joe - who are you kidding? You wear t-shirts, shorts, and Crocs all winter long! One of these days we'll find you frozen stiff in a snowbank.  Tag soup for me this year. Season started out well enough, does but no bucks. Then I caught a tenacious head cold which put the kibosh to any further adventures. Each year it's something it seems, can't seem to catch a break.
