For the ladies part 3
Onto Deer season… my wife drew a 2nd season doe tag, nada for me and my buddy got a buck tag. It take 2 points for a buck tag and it was his first deer hunt so spirits were high. My wife prefers doe tags so that is a relatively low pressure hunt. We drove up the Friday before the opener and... -

A Season for the Ladies
My thought is that when I shot it was a slight quartering too and ricochet off the offside rob because entrance was perfect looking. This is where I got careless is that I didn’t even look for an exit. I assumed I had a pass through and got to quartering since it was dark. I got to the... -
A Season for the Ladies
So got her down and finish at 7:20 … quick pics and get to work … been here before and knew what to expect … solo pack out in the dark again. But the good news is only 3/4 miles from the wheeler and all downhill so glad I chose an easier hike that evening lol. Took an hour to quarter her up... -
A Season for the Ladies
Day 3 continued - I was freezing my butt off in that mountain holding still and trying to get that bull to come then long hike out I was wiped. Back to camp to eat and rest a few. Already being 3 I knew I needed something not so strenuous and not so far. I’ll just wander up this hill and sit... -

Ramshot Big Game Powder
I use it for .243, .270, and .30-06... When the powder got scarce a few years ago it was the only thing I could find so I bought some. Loaded all three and I can't really tell a difference.

Rattlesnakes
Kill all rattlers... if there is one, there is a possibility to be more. Seeing one is bad enough, but if I leave and next time there is 2 and so on ... So rattlers gotta go, but bull snake and non-venomous get a bye.- wolfpup

Antelope Hunters - How Blessed Am I?
Since we usually have 2-3 antelope per year, I make it pretty easy. I take the backstraps and tenders out. Then I take say 10 pounds of neck, and whatever bits for stew meat and chili. I also take the shanks and render down for Birria (ramen or tacos). The entire rest of the meat gets...
