I can't wait one more day. Who shoots their does in the head.

I did for a couple of seasons in a row....Cull bucks I would shoot neck and does would be head shots. This left all the meat unharmed and made for a much easier clean. All these shots would be done within 50 yards or so at the most. Of corse it took them staright down which kind of took away from following a nice blood trail...Nothing like a nice blood trail to follow that leads to your kill.....

Well...thinking about heading out this evening or sometime tomorrow. I have this damn sinus infection thats been going around though. Taking antibiotics and sinus meds for 2 days now. Its hard to keep me from a hunt, but damn this is kicking my ass.

I got the same shit be glad when it is gone

That is really what I mean. Right behind the ear and down a little.

Head no... Neck if you can get it to save meat... Front or back to hit the spine is the best...


Edit. Side to side give me right behind the foreleg...

Anything over 50 yards I'm going for vitals. A lot of people here shoot for the head.

I haven't yet but I was thinking about it

My worry would be just clipping her jaw and then her living only to starve to death

I have always used my dad's stuff. Hell even at the deer lease he has an old motor home that we sleep in. I use one of his many rifles. I do have my own pistol that I bought long ago (little ruger .22 or something I bought when I was 10 by working for my dad bagging ice at one of his stores)
I bought my own amo and I have a " hunting box " that has all my stuff in it but for the big stuff... if he already has it, I just use it as long as he isn't using it.

anyone that knows me knows I'm a daddy's boy and what's mine is his and what's his is mine type deal haha.

Picked up some amo and last minute stuff before I head out Wednesday morning. Uncle let me borrow his 30-30 and wife's step dad let me use his 30-06 with a very nice scope. Awesome that you have family that will let you borrow their gear. I plan on buying my stuff some time next year.

Didn't have any luck this weekend, saw one buck but it was too dark to tell how big he was and he didn't hang out. Damn sheep wouldn't leave us alone, I think I'll probably hunt our other feeder next time that's in a pasture where there aren't any sheep. Other than that just a few small doe. I did almost get a rabbit with my LC9 out of the rhino lol.

I started to stay in the stand later today but but the other guy was going to haul my deer to the locker or me if I got something because he had to go there anyway and it's an hour out of the way for me. But normally I leave the stand at 10 but I have thought about staying later next time

It's always interesting to hear about the different routines during the hunting season. For me, by 6:15am I would have already been in the stand for about an hour. Then, if I hadn't taken anything I would pack up around 9:30-10:00 and head back in for some breakfast and a maybe nap if I felt the need, then go back out for an afternoon hunt at a different stand around noon.

I used to be the same way but that is when I was younger and gor bored of sitting. Started staying longera and seeing more and bigger deer. From reading and personal expeirance bigger deer come out/have been killed between the hours of 1030-1400....I myself really like the evening hunts as I dont have to get up early...not a morning person...
