I may just have to give it ago some January. Pickings are very slim around here that time of year. Hard for him to justify a membership, I guess, as he's a football and wrestling coach. Takes up a lot of weekends doing that...
Always interested in hunting in new places, "success" being measured in the amount of fun.

It's the Fieldcraft special run 6.5 CM with the 22" #2 barrel. Really liking that rifle for my use/preferences. I believe there is one for sale right now in the classifieds. Can't say it's any more accurate than the standard light contour barrel but I do hold it more steady off-hand. Scoped with the S&B PMII 6x42....no dialing needed at this range but it seems a solid scope so far on several deer and a coyote. Have been using the 129 ABLR and it's performance has been excellent.
Thanks guys.... I've got one of those with the same scope on it. It looks like you got yours CeraKoted?

Still loving the January rut. That's another beauty! How many tags do you get down there?

Thanks guys! .....
I've got one of those with the same scope on it. It looks like you got yours CeraKoted?
That model came cerakoted from the factory. There were a couple of special run models, some 22" threaded cerakoted with either a black or green stock, some 24" non-threaded cerakoted with green stock, some 24" non-cerakoted and non-threaded with gray stock, maybe a couple more. I used it on both bucks pictured as well as the one below from GA. I carry a lot of rifles but that one's my favorite....it also seems to be the luckiest. Great buck, where are you hunting to have the rut this time of the year? Texas? Northeast AL. I'm really fortunate to hunt a place in GA with a mid/late Nov rut, my home/farm in AL with a mid/late Dec rut, and place west an hour west of my home that has a January rut.
That's another beauty!
How many tags do you get down there?
3 buck tags in AL, pretty much unlimited doe tags. AL rifle season runs from mid-November through early February. I have one more buck in AL right now. It will need to be a solid older buck (or something that should be culled) before I'll shoot another. I also hunt GA and it's 2 bucks...I think 12 does but I'd have to double check on that number. GA rifle season runs from mid-October to early January. The one below was taken during the area I hunt in GA's mid/late Nov rut this year.....lucky Fieldcraft again. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/175111.jpg) Iโm gonna hide a GPS tracker in his boot heel. Another stud down ๐ Make sure it's waterproof! Getting a lot of rain right now so the run-offs on the mountainside will be rolling today. May be getting this rare thing called snow! Time to get going....today is going to be a still hunting day...raining, windy, and cold (at least for here). Tomorrow is going to be colder and less rain/snow so it may be a really good day.

Great bucks.
The rut here in MS has been hit and miss.
Iโm sure the hot weather played a part in that.
Or the deer have a Monday - Friday rut schedule. ๐๐

Dang....nice. While most deer hunters are home and warm you're out there getting it done.

Nice buck!
Was quite surprised to see 3 bucks chasing a doe across my hay field this morning before the snow hit. A little late, but perked me up for prospects for next year.
