washguy Posted November 5, 2014 Author Report Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Brothers It came down to the last day for Char getting her buck. We sighted in rifles Friday had cocktails and dinner....this is the way to hunt! The owner Diane and Phil a family friend was there...had the whole place to ourselves...my my what a nice property.....the ranch owns the hills in front of the lodge....high fenced . we hunted low fence and there was plenty of 4 points and 6 points,but Char was holding out for a big 8....so it came down to the last morning,,,,,It took a lot of convincing to put war paint on her...I used 3 color camo all over her face...what a hoot when she walked in the main lodge before going out <lmao> Well it worked...a nice 8 point came in....she put the smackdown on him....he ran for the hills,but dropped after 50yds.....so we waited for 30 mins or so,and my doe came in....boom...all done What a great hunt....Diane. Phil. and Mark our guide are some of the most wonderful people you would ever want to hang with! The food ...my oh my I gained poundage ....Char would not let me post up a pic of her cause of all the camo on her face...but here's the buck without her :) Wash sittin on the porch....the hills are the high fence area The rut was just getting started...bucks were chasing and we had 7 turkeys come to within 20 yds Edited November 5, 2014 by washguy

Sisco Posted November 5, 2014 Report Posted November 5, 2014 Real nice, WG . Glad you had a good hunt. I am passing this year, the deer herd is in brutal shape after a bad winter last year. Just glad someone had a good hunt.

Hi Blk yeppers just at 16"....the pic was after he was gutted/cleaned....still fat lol they had protein feeders all over the property....my doe was fat too they were both shot with 6.8's.....and im not really impressed with that caliber....I guess its always shot placement....Char's hit in the boiler room the other in the shoulder no exit in the doe that was hit in the shoulder...she ran a lil ....no meat spoiled...using 120grain hornady sst ... next time 308 for sure! Thanks Seasprite! :) Wash

Thanks Seasprite! :) Wash It'll be a debate till the end of time, myself like a good thru and thru. Not that I've shot a ton of deer but between 30-06 and .308 all my deer have tipped over in 30-40 yards. I've also seen deer with there vitals in the trees and blood all over go 1/8-1/4 mile with a 30-06 shot. It's all personal preference I guess. I also know a few guys that think they need to use a 7mm or 300 win mag at >150 yards and blow the ever loving poop outta their deer. Let's see your Doe wash don't be ashamed lol
washguy Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Let's see your Doe wash don't be ashamed lol No way not after Chars buck......hahaha .....you should have seen the big white and choclate fallow that she tried to shoot.....note to self...next time bring the scope sunshades,and more cash...lol..... :) Wash Oh...okay here's mine <lmao> Edited November 6, 2014 by washguy
