Me- Then It wouldn't be "No-Shave November."This Sunday on the way to church, Mrs. File said- "If you'd just trim it up a bit, I could see what it's supposed to look like, 'cause right now it's just an unmanaged blob on your face..."
hurmphfffff- I cling the Red Green Axiom of "if they don't find you handsome, at least they find you handy."couple of corners I found out hunting.
about the only thing I could read on this was 1969....
couple corners set by Keith Williams in 1972.
little Buck I shot--- His purpose is bbq backstrap and burger for taco Tuesdays....
Is that one of those Jackalopes I've heard of? Seen a few mounted over the years but never the real thing.
Just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

No-Jackalopes are native to WY. This is a Mule deer- Odocoileus hemionus-this one was of the sub-sub-species- opportunius-rigus-closus
I have a copy of the Taylor Wine Wild Game Recipe from decades ago.
It basically says to drink as much wine as you cook with.......

You can tell it's a muley, muleys fork, whitetails branch. Or is it the other way, I forget things in my old age. It is kinda small for a muley, more like a whitetail. Or Rankin is using his elk/elephant rifle for that poor little deer.
I've also followed Keith, there weren't any corners except math corners after the original positions. Not that there is anything wrong with that. 😉
He got around.

.300 WM. 180 gr pretty much parked him in place. we were hunting elk, but it was a rendezvous with destiny for the little bugger. 190 yard shot but only 40 yards thru the sagebrush to get him to a place I could get the rig to. I've spent enough hrs dragging big horns back out of some buck's nest/ he**hole to do that anymore... a couple years ago we were back in a ways and he dumped a nice buck right at dusk - I was gritting my teeth the whole time he was setting up his shot.
We boned the whole thing out by flashlight - threw it in my game bag and I carried his rifle and the head out, while he carried out the meat....
He's probably 2-3 year old - definitely not this season's fawn.
as it is, he's as big as the 4-5 pt whitetails around my place- those ghosts are only out at night or road killed on the shoulder in the Am.

I was shooting into a draw with a ground backdrop. The other hunter was shooting into the draw from the other side, so he had a ground backdrop. No actual problem with that, however I do want to know every nearby hunter is and his probable shooting area. In this case I did not. I was on the ground and may well have been seen by the other hunter but he was not a part of my group. From the sound of the shot and the location of the deer the angle of his shot was at least 20?ø away from me.

It's great to see Movember has spread across the globe. Does it come with the same Cancer Awareness campaign that it had when it started in Australia?
October is cancer awareness month here.

When I was young, we would go out over Christmas and take the nice whitetail bucks that would climb on a ranchers haystack. It was a nighttime operation. Back then a rancher wouldn't get into trouble doing that,,,,,,so we helped out. By the time I was out of college they started giving people grief about such things. So our Christmas night was spent doing other things. The good old days. 😉
#1 thing when hunting, closer to a road the better. Don't shoot an elk in a hole for g*d's sake!!!!

Growing up my family's hunting camp was alongside the Buffalo River in Ft. Adams Mississippi. We leased land all along the river and went from the camp to our stands by Jon boat. Never had to drag more that 300 feet to the water (plus those swamp deer were plentiful, but small).

Movember was specifically created to bring awareness to prostate cancer.

Our October thing is more breast cancer awareness.
