SFC B's yearly folly.......

Saw a beautiful golden eagle up close- I love raptors.

Opposite end of the spectrum from a golden eagle!

We had a blast! Went by to quick. Thank you Brother Born for you sweet driving skills and meat packing. I am still laughing at the pasture poodle you sent into orbit from your 22-250

 

[SFC B]

I don't know that there is anything much more fun than a suppressed 22-250 zinging P-dogs. Holy smoke

 

[SFC B]

Going to shoot for the last time (probably) before I leave for home....then won't be back here until Thanksgiving. Going to actually adjust my ballistic turret for the suppressor on the 6.5 (right now I have been just "doping" it). 22-250 is right on and I will be limiting it to does within point blank range. MAN, I can't wait to be back in the Midwest!!!!

I'm wheels up in KS!!!! Just saw the first 3 deer of the trip! Son is copilot for this leg.

I'm officially home.....Jonesy's, Akron, IN. Won best BPT in IN last year. Half of the meat is under the bun. Combo with cheese fries....$11.

Current situation.....

Been at the cabin in Etna Green the last 5 days doing chores. Assembling furniture, yard work, cleaning gutters, getting estimates for work. Got to spend time with family, meet the neighbors and eat well. Now I'm in Flora about to head to the woods for the first time tomorrow.

Home sweet home. IN MT now but cut my teeth hunting outside of Akron. And have an inside joke with my best friend about Etna Green, never thought I’d see that name on HT.

Ive been trying to perfect my “breaded venison tenderloin” and am getting close.

Best of luck to the Hoosier hunters.

Go IU!!!!!

You just never know.....my neighbors are the guy across the pond, an Amish dude and a cornfield. Etna Green is hopping these days....diner, new gas station, liquor store, elevator/gun store.

First day at the farm this year. Went out this afternoon to check out what the logging looked like. Put a big staging area in the CRP, cut a nice access/buffer open area around the wood edge and it looks like they just went looking for walnuts.....including a HUGE one right next to one of my stands. They left some slash in places I wish they hadn't but it is what it is. Think I have a plan and I'll be out in the morning. Saw/half jumped a bedded doe on the walk. Probably could have gotten her but it was warm and I wanted to finish my walk. Saw a buck crazy dogging a doe outside Camden on my way out. Great news, Levi my firewood guy got me all oak this year

 

[SFC B]

Out on CRP the ladder stand. About 0720 had a group of 5 deer running/chasing on the field. It was still foggy and about 500 m away so couldn't tell who the players were. Cool and calm.

That looks like the perfect place to collect those retirement checks.

Hope a big one comes cruising through right when you are ready for him
