Thanks Geo. We are heading out Friday right after school gets out.
Looking for a nice WT buck or an Axis. He wants a Black Buck rug and the head done in a European mount. Perfect Christmas present.:)
I am blessed.

My 8 year old daughters first piece of game ever, taken tonight with an 870 in 28 gauge cut off at both ends.
My apologies to those who have questioned the taking of squirrels with a shotgun.

If there is a more "redneck" background for a gun/game picture I can't imagine it!

Hi all, a bit OT, but what the heck! This weekend was our deer gun opener, it was a success for us. We had 4 tags (3 doe & 1 buck) to fill, this year the state issued the lowest amount of tags in the last 40 years, so we were lucky. The Friday opener was chilly and windy, not much moving, but Sat and today were nice days. My son Jim and I filled our tags on Sat. morning, we jumped 2 does out of a slough bottom and got both at the same time. My daughter got her buck today. Just need to fill my other sons tag, hope we can do it next Sat.

Anyway........

Me and mine



Jim and his



And my daughter Liz



Best

My season has been open for a week now. It still feels too warm to be walking around in water and marsh grass in waders. It was ninety degrees Tuesday and I about died from dehydration/heat exhaustion. Saturday the temperature was eighty-five, not much better. It should start cooling down soon and that will make the days more enjoyable.

I shot this 8 point Saturday down here in South GA:



I'd seen him last Sat, working a licking branch. This weekend he came back and I took the neck shot while he was standing straight up on his hind legs. Dropped like a rock. Ruger #1 in .270...Geo

Nice shooting Geo. it is amazing how a well placed neck shot is like switching off a light switch, quite dramatic. Nice buck too!

Thanks Steve. He's not so much a trophy, but I'll take the shot on a grown 8 pt. every time.

I put an old Japanese Tasco variable on the Ruger this year and the eye relief is so short I'm having to shoot the rifle sans the recoil pad...Geo

Snipe hunter, you are a braver man than me wading those FL shallows this early in the year. I always used to wait until the snakes and gators went to bed for the winter...Geo

Try to track down an old Noske scope, 7/8" tube with plenty of eye relief. I think mine is 4x, perfect on a falling block. I mounted one on a quarter rib of a Farquharison I re-barreled a year or so ago for a client.
