Those are some crazy trail cam pics! Knowing how nimble/fast Whitetail are, it's amazing even a group of Coyote could bring a big one down. Admittedly, I just looked at pics, maybe it was wounded? I have too much Holiday prep. to do to "pull a stool up" and hang at the Campfire today.
But....... Best wishes for a HAPPY HOLiDAY to all at the 24hrCF.
Steve, so sorry for the late reply, but work was really kicking my but this week, lots of last minute "emergencies" before the Holiday break.
Thanks for the congrats! While no trophies, I had a very enjoyable hunting season, and for a "city" kid, I got to spend more time in the woods with bow, rifle and muzzleloader than any prior that I can recall.
I wish you Nan and the rest of your family a Happy Holiday, and only the best in 2012.
Rory, thanks to you too for the kind words. His tenderloins were on a skillet with butter and onions soon after he was hung up in the garage, and your right, he tasted good! :-).
Happy Holidays to you!

Deer is still in velvet and pictures are date 8/2. Whose out hunting wounding deer then?
Poachers? Possibly.
And his horns probably haven't hardened off enough yet for him to be able to effectively use them as weapons. And it wouldn't have mattered anyway, when he lowered his horns to go after one yote, one or more would have grabbed his hamstrings.
A group of the little bastids are perfectly capable of taking down any healthy mature whitetail. This may or may not have been the case in this instance, who knows.
Yotes like wolves are the ultimate survivors and opportunists. They take their meals when and where they find them.

We've had two real good winters but the coyotes and timber wolves are dropping the numbers real bad. I think it's time to take the caller and a certain 99C in 22-250 for a walk. They made a 99 in 22-250?

Nice bear Mike! Did the .250 drop him in his tracks, or did he go a bit? Just curious. Also, 100grain bullet? and what did the bear weigh? I have so many questions, because my brother and I have had a disagreement for decades, he thinks it's marginal for big game, and think it's great, providing you put the bullet where it's supposed to go. Thanks! -TomT

He was dead before I could walk up to him. Running shot in the neck with factory 100 grain Silvertips. It was only about 40-50 yards. The .250 drops deer (and bear) like a lightning bolt if don't push its limits. The bear went 325 with the guts in.

Welcome to the 'fire. What breed and age is the dog?
Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

I see a deer Terrier. He makin sure that deer don't try to get away. Whats the vintage of the "rescue"?
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
