washguy Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 It is not about the Kill, it is not about the size of the rack, it is NOT about the experience!!!! it is about food there is no reason on this earth to kill another animal for any reason except to eat him the only exception is predators or varmits , I think that hunting has become a recreation, a sport if you will..... and I am ok with that if folks just remember it is about food so next time WASH!!!!!!!! shoot that deer lol I know it would have been good to eat....... seriously that is too bad he did not come back but the young ones always taste better.. :)Mag our freezer is full of hog,fallow,and whitetail...we were gonna donate the meat to hunters for the hungry.... after thinking bout this hunt while driving 7 hours back home....im pissed...why did I listen to the guide? well F me....the guide wanted Char to shoot a small eight too...she got the rifle scoped on the deer and then stopped and put the rifle down telling the guide that we got meat and she doesn't shoot just to be killing things....he looked at her like she was crazy.....thats my gal....doing the right thing Wash

NTXshooter Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Wash, that really is too bad about your deer. But, it is a good lesson learned. It's your money your spending, you should do what you want. It's an expensive lesson but a good one.
Sisco Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Posted December 1, 2015 Sorry for the expensive lesson Wash. I have taken a smaller buck and kicked myself later in the season, but Mag is right. The smaller ones do taste better. Not that ten points is small! Hang onto some of those Mk319's for next year. Deer season ended yesterday here. Herd population was so low I didn't go out. Did not hear much shooting either. None of my friends even saw deer, although a couple of big bucks were taken I heard. Next year I ill be back at it.
Magwa Posted December 1, 2015 Report Posted December 1, 2015 Give Char a hug for me that is pure class... guides want to fill their hunters tags as fast as possible to get a big tip well it is your money and you shoot what you want why do they tell you shoot this one and not that one ? what BS hunting is taking the first good animal you want LOL well I know texas has no public ground to hunt on but if you drove here I could show you where to hunt and you could just camp out and shoot what you want...

I was opened up earlier this year. Never fun.
EngrBob Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Good luck Wash. The first weekend of Mule Deer season was the opposite of the opening of Whitetail season, didn't see a Mulie all weekend. But I did manage to bag two Whitetail bucks since they are still in season. One was a very nice 8 point and the other was one identified by the biologist (our lease is on a management program) for culling. Only 4 points with a deformed rack, but was heavy and very meaty when I quartered him. Between the two we now have about 160 lbs. aging in the spare refrigerator. We still have a bunch of doe permits and a couple more buck permits as part of the management program. The nice part was getting both deer with the AR308 I built with the ammunition I loaded.
Magwa Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 Excellent Bob always feels better with something you made or had a hand in way to go.... lets see some pics

EngrBob Posted December 2, 2015 Report Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Excellent Bob always feels better with something you made or had a hand in way to go.... lets see some picsOn the top is the 8 point. I don't have a whole" shot of the 4 point but his head is on the left in the tree where they are stored waiting for the biologist to pick them up. Edited December 2, 2015 by EngrBob
shepp Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 there is a Hurd of albino deer by my house like 5-8 of them the UW actually came down to study them.
Hoff Posted March 12, 2016 Report Posted March 12, 2016 Here is a nice Wisconsin public land buck for you. I got him opening morning, he made boone&crockett as a trophy!
Hoff Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks guys! One of the happiest days of my life, I love the hunt. Got him with a rock river arms LAR8 Predator HP. I love all AR rifles, especially the 308.
Hoff Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Rock River is everything I hoped truly a quality weapon. I was gonna get a standard operator or standard A4 had it narrowed down to those 2, but they had a RRA daily special, $1300 for the Predator HP. Bought it and I love it!!
unforgiven Posted March 13, 2016 Report Posted March 13, 2016 Good deal,I ordered my Standard Operator for $1400.00 and waited 6 mos. when things were good.As a lefty the ambi conrols are the cats meow.Picked up 6 Fal mags for $6.00 ea. at the time.I got some poly 5's,20's and steel 20's.
