    It's been a slow hunt compared to years past, but I've still managed to miss 14 times so far... I guess I just suck at shooting a longbow. 😭🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤣 2 more days to get it done. Wish me luck 🤞

    It's been tough hunting so far. There's a lot more people hunting this area this year, but at least it's still beautiful.

    Back in paradise for the fourth year in a row. I only have a javelina tag, which starts on the new year. But my buddies have deer tags and we're after them now. Wish us luck. 🤞

    Rifle Shot Placement for Least Meat Loss

    Totally agree. The doe in the pic was standing at exactly 97 yards, and my rifle is dead on at 100. So I took the shot with great confidence the bullet was going where the crosshair was. Anytime I'm not 100% sure I can hit the hair I'm aiming at, I'll shoot for the boiler room.

    Can you fit a bone-in elk quarter in a 100 qt cooler?

    It's not likely that you'll be able to fit it in there without cutting the shanks off.

    Rifle Shot Placement for Least Meat Loss

    Neck shots save meat... Unless you shoot em with a cannon 🤷‍♂️ Despite the size of the hole, there was very little meat loss. I prefer neck shots when I'm close and have the time to place the shot accurately. Base of the head is best. This particular doe only had her neck/shoulder junction...

    I can't believe I forgot to post this hunt 😬 My coues deer hunt was about as short as it could have been. Opening morning I hiked up a fairly large hillside that I thought would give me a good vantage point.... But I was very very wrong. I couldn't see nearly as well I had hoped. I didn't see...

    The wind was going to be out of a different direction on Friday morning, so my direction of attack needed to change, but the I figured I'd use the same basic plan. I'd start on the south side of the property boundary and hope to catch the deer coming off the field and into the flats. The buck...

    The weather on Wednesday was terrible. It was 35 degrees, windy, and raining. Call me a wimp or whatever you want, but I decided it wasn't a day I needed to be hunting. Lol. I slept most of the day and tried to dry my gear out fun the first two days. I did do some glassing in a flat open area...

    The morning of day 2 started off a bit icy. 🥶 I went back to the same little drainage I killed the doe the first day. I saw about a dozen deer as I was packing the doe out, so I figured they'd do be nearby in the morning. Well they were still there. I passed a small buck and, missed 2 of...

    I didn't take a ton of pics on my Oklahoma hunt because the weather was garbage the first three days. The idea of using my nice camera in freezing rain just isn't very appealing to me. 🤷‍♂️ -------- My goal for the trip was to fill all 4 tags. I could shoot 1 buck and 3 does, or 4 does. I...
