Deer hunting BS thread

Nah, I’m good on road kill!!!

 

You know you've had a bad day when you pull the steel trap up and get away, only then to get caught in a snare And you thought you were having a bad day

 

Checked cameras today.

 

Excellent!!!!

 

Wow!!

 

Things are starting to change.
May not be a big deal, but it's the first time resident lone Doe was "allowed" to hang out with Mama and Skipper.

Glad to hear things are leveling out.

 

Painted my beloved .243 over the weekend (pink camo) to pass down to my daughter! I got it at as a Christmas gift when I was a kiddo. Parents bought it from our local hardware store for next to nothing. Its been a faithful little rifle, and has dropped every deer its harvested, within 30 yds of where they stood (besides the 1 time I made a bad shot/shot over ones back). Its nothing fancy, it isn't a major brand, has a cheap $30 scope, and doesn't carry any cool long family history - but the sentiment and family history has to start somewhere right? Anybody have any tips or tools of choice for carving/engraving a name somewhere on a rifle?

 

How steady of a hand do you have? A carving bit on a dremel, (looks like a cone but has the little flaps similar to a wood rasp) a stencil, and some patience will go a long way.
