Deer hunting BS thread

Hi Dewayne, yes all 3 GD's had a wonderful Christmas. For Amanda and I, best Christmas ever. And you?

 

Trouble is, that anymore weather forecasts are a 'coin flip' - it might rain, it might not.....it might snow, it might not.....
There, I just made a weather forecast!!!!

 

Doug, sorry for interrupting your conversation with dewayne!!! I am done!!

 

ours was good also. grandaughters had a exciting time

 

yea ill call for a trace to 18” here. got that covered as good as the weather man. lol

 

no,you go on-no interruption here brother.

 

No worries we multitask here! Continue on. Doc appt for me.

 

So my 25-06 is a rem 700 with a hard plastic butt plate, and that gets kinda slippery on hardwood floors, so I bought a universal grind to fit recoil pad on Amazon for $10 and the sucker is a near perfect fit, it's about 1/16" to small at the top but I can live with it. It makes the length of pull about 3/4" longer, which doesn't bother me because I'm 6'1, and it doesn't look too bad to boot. Of course I'm function>form anyway, but if I can get both, why not. I just had to put two screw holes in it and find longer screws

 

very nice. i need to do the same with plastic buttplate on my Rem 760 carbine pump. always wanted to just never got it done

 

Nice, my dad has a 742 his is a 30-06, what is yours?

 

my 760 carbine is a 30-06 too. and i inherited my late FIL’s 742 carbine in 30-06. its in top grade shape. ive never carried it but want to one day for sentmental reasons. these are great guns for in the mountains.

 

here is my skull mount from this years buck off the mountain. jawbones are for game commision to age deer for our deer management program

 

helped our bud cape a few while i was there. the racks hanging are for mounts he will do. just as many down the other side the pic doesnt show. gonna be a busy youngin i think

 

Came out nice!
Got a skull buried out back. Should see what it looks like.

 

Holy Smokes!

 

Well one more try & Bruce is ready to watch a bolt zing by at 380fps!! Hopefully it won’t rain too much soggy gobbler on tailgate won’t look as good but I’ll take it!!

 

dewayne - Peebles, Ohio forecast today: 3-5" of snow!!! Tuesday: 51 degrees and 90% chance of rain!!! What a changeover???

 

Thanks for the update. they got there. said the land was more like mountain hunting. soo,told him he was raised on that. saddles,just under ridge flats and food sources. the storm just starting here. its gone from forecast of snow to snow,sleet,freezing rain here.

 

We are now only supposed to get < 1", but before bed last night it was 1-3" today. Just say it will probably snow today instead of guessing amounts????

 

Got my 2 cups of coffee in me, took my morning dump, everything is layed out in the basement. BUT, it is hard to get going with windchills around 20 degrees and likely very few hunters to move the deer around. MAY get up into the 30's later today when the snow is supposed to start falling. Hadn't typically seen any deer this year till after 8:30 AM. Debating on waiting a bit to go out or go now and sit in the dark for a half hour.

Cole decided to pass on going, so my motivation is lessened.

It is HELL GETTING OLD!!!
