Got my tower stand fixed up, set out some prop ups, filled feeders and popped a doe in Arkansas. I let my dad use my tower stand and he saw nothing. I hope that changes on Nov 8. Here's a pic of a dead deer to get y'all thinking about deer season.

I have to use all of the proper duck names up here or I get weird looks. First time I said "dos gris" the guy I was talking to thought I was calling him an ugly name.

Also got funny stairs when I talked about shooting grey ducks.

Doe down!!! 10/11/14 @ 7:45am

Finally getting around to posting this. Had this doe come in at 7:30 this morning. She wouldn't give me a shot. (Saw her ((assuming)) yesterday morning and same shite). She was very nervous/cautious. Nose in the air the whole time. She looks me way a few times but never saw me. Well finally she got broadside and gave me a clear shot and the Mathews sent the Rage through the cage. Complete pass through double lung. 20yd shot and she ran about 60yds.






Up until this point I had put 56 hours in a tree and seen 8 deer without getting a shot. Seeing that green nockturnal disappear in her side was such a relief. Nothing like a bow kill!



This blood trail was immaculate

Went deer hunting in AR on the early season doe only hunt. Got this doe at 9:20 AM at 140 yds. She only ran about 40-50 yds. I bought this gun (a Remington XP-100) in the spring and had not hunted w/ it yet. I was using a 7 mm Speer 130 gr bullet.

Cool looking gun and nice kill.

It looks like it rained on y'all too. We hunt near Monticello and it rained off and on the whole time.

Yeah, it's a very pretty stock. All my other XP's have synthetic stocks. The selling point for this one was the pretty wood. Wish I knew what kind of wood it is.

Yeah, it rained off and on all AM and was a really hard rain at times. It stopped just before the doe came out.

How do you get a consistent hold with a scoped handgun?

KR,
Learning to use the scope is the trickiest part of handgun hunting w/ a scope. First, the scopes I use are designed to be used w/ handguns so they have a longer than usual eye relief. Second, the most difficult part is learning to position your eye(s) w/ the scope so that you have a full field of view. Obviously it's different from shooting a rifle in that you don't have a cheek piece on the stock to anchor your face to. It just takes a lot of practice to get lined up w/ the scope. If you're off just a tiny bit, the scope picture will "black out." Third, I almost never take a shot w/o some sort of rest. In this case, I rested the forend one a backpack propped up on the shooting window. On prairie dog hunts I use a bipod in front and a sand bag in the rear. All these things are part of the challenge that is handgun hunting.

This and 30mm tube scope along with not going higher then a 2 power scope. My best shot/kill was close to 100 yards with a super Blackhawk 44 mag, hand load to a 200 gr bullet.

Went to Cotter, AR to trout fish.
Drank about 60-70 white cans,
watched crack heads dance at the local "club" with crazy glow sticks,
watched lesbians deny some of our friends,
got off with 0 tab at the "club",
caught about 40 rainbows first day, 25 second
fished in 50 degree rain
zero photos until friends send them to me. Phone was dead
