Deer hunting BS thread

This thread disappoints me cause I hardly have time to hunt nowadays...

 

But post some pics if you kill anything

 

Got a pic of this big boy

 

Oh, I will. I'm going everyday until Monday, so hopefully I will. Rifle season opened up last Saturday here in GA, but this is my first time being able to go

 

That's just pure perfection right there

 

I"m off work Nov 9-22...I'll be in the woods jsut about every day.

 

Well, I didn't see anything last night. I left the woods about 30 mins too early, so I'm sure Goliath walked by right after I left lol.

Went to a different stand this morning from 6:30-9:30 that overlooks some power lines and saw 3 does. 1 was big enough, but the other 2 were too small, so I just let them all walk.

I'm going to the same spot this afternoon at around 3 and staying until dark, so hopefully Goliath or one of his little brothers will walk out for me lol. If not, I have no problem taking a doe out just for the meat. I just thawed out the last steak from last season, so right now meat in the freezer is priority. After that, I'll be trophy hunting.

 

id like to see him when muzzleloader comes in

 

Be safe out there people!

Jealous of my brother this weekend, it's the youth hunt and he's gonna get out in the woods and leave me here to dry.

It's a shame...

 

HOLY SH*T!!! I would've crapped my pants or shot at them haha

I wonder if the poacher got caught. Hope so.

 

Bagged my first deer yesterday! Pretty happy for a socal deer. lol

 

Nice!




Finally get to really hunt tomorrow for the first time this year. There's NO food around here...so right now I'm just sittin and hopin somethin walks by. There are always deer traveling the ridge I'm gonna sit on. Tomorrow evening I'm gonna watch a power line. All the deer are finding fields or clearings to eat in the evenings so I'm hopin they'll come out.

It's also been a LOT colder today/tonight/tomorrow so I'm hopin the cold front gets em movin.

 

Yeah, that GA weather dropped like hell last night. We were in a blind until about 7:10 last night and it started getting cold! This morning, there was frost on my truck for the first time this year. I'm working until 2 today, but I'll be back in the stand by 4 lol

 

About 930 I heard somethin come flyin through the woods. Grabbed my gun ad flipped the safety. 3 decent bucks came in. First deer of the season, didn't care what it was, I was gonna put some meat in the freezer. Pulled up on the only one I could get to stop running where I could get a shot. Pulled the trigger...."click". Re-racked, pulled the trigger, "click. They all ran off. Took all the bullets out, put new ones in, sat there for another 20 minutes. Had a little 3 point come 10 yards from me...again, meat in the freezer...pulled the trigger, "click". Gun shot fine last week sighting it in. Misfired today and cost me at least 2 deer. New synthetic semi-auto 30-06 here I come!

 

Man, that sucks! I've got a Savage .270 and I haven't even shot or sighted it in since last year...hopefully that doesn't happen to me. I haven't knocked it around or anything, so hopefully it's fine

 

Was it a shell problem or a gun problem? Just curious on what kind a round you were shooting. My dad had a box or hornady's do that to him a couple years ago, had a ton or miss fires out of it. Switched to Federal Premiums haven't had a problem since.

 

The first few that misfired were Winchester. I had some Remington core lokt in my pocket as spares ad they did it too. Thinkin maybe the spring for the firing pin is weak maybe.
