    Really need to get out in the woods and get setup! Wheeling and life has gotten in the way

    Side note; love how manufacturers claim that wildlife can't see the cameras. Don't worry about this picture of deer looking straight into the shutter :rolleyes:

    Recommendations for some binos in the $75-$100 range? Bushnell, Nikon, etc.

    For $15 less than $75, you can get Bushnell PowerView binos. Had mine for 2 seasons, served me well

    How well did the .38 do? I finished a doe off with a .32 long but it was point blank behind the ear. I plan on buatin one with a .357 if it gets in range this year

    Awesome i shot that doe with a charter arms target patriot in .327 mag but i had slipped those .32 longs in cuz i figured they would be enough for a head shot (i spine shot her initially with a .243 btw) i like it and it has a 4" barrel so it shoots pretty good for a j frame and gets the most out of them hot rounds, but when i got my .357 the .327 became my wife's purse gun and i carry the .357 everywhere but the shower now

    so far its been hit and miss. The bear burger and backstraps are good. The roast was ok but not great, it may have been the recipe. Ive also had pastries made from rendered fat and its really good.

    We are in foothills of hill country, so the deer generally have smaller bodies. I would say 3 1/2 years old.

    maybe his head just looks small cuz dem antlers is huge.

    but his chest looks kinda small too and not saggy like an old deer would, also older deer have a hard time bending their back legs and it makes em walk kinda funny but in the pic where he is piled up, it looks like his legs are working just fine

    I know all about small deer. They don’t typically get very big here in north Ga either.

    Had my dream buck show up on my trail cam. This dude is a 10+ year old (hard to do in the Sonoran desert) super heavy and unique 2x3. Would have loved to see him when he was younger, but he is top priority for me come deer season.

    good looking deer, put him out of his misery. thing is prolly starving to death on a count of him having teeth wore down to the gums. hopefully he has spread some good seed around over the past decade
