Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Meat for the freezer!
Maybe we'll get to take a crack at one this season. Rifle season starts Thanksgiving Day for a short 4 day run in our zone, later in December it reopens through February.
Yesterday we checked out our son's new to him Beretta Silver Pigeon and let the youngest grandson shoot an old Winchester 67 youth model. This afternoon he shot it some more and then we had a short familiarization on an old Ruger Bearcat and he did surprisingly well with it. Didn't get pics of him and the Ruger. Hopefully young Dawson will want to be in the deer woods one day. We've had a good weekend!

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Get that boy on a Trap or Skeet Field - surly there is a youth group nearby that will take him in. I am heavily involved here locally and trust me; it'll change his world. My grandson is very particular who his friends are and very polite and is getting ready to accept the National Junior Honor Society Award - I give a lot of it to the Shooting Community. Good People, he was guided and learned a lot from them while I was out being a referee. His momma and daddy shoot too. That is one sport way-way above Ball Sports that is a mature sport - and he plays ball - football, basketball, golf, track - but the manners come from the Shooting Sport. Holds doors open, thank you's, yes sir/Mam, you go first... all that stuff, came from the shooters, not the ball player - I can promise you that.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Well this old boy greeted brother Jeff and I this morning. We had just turned off the county road and pulled up to our little hunting shack and there he was in all his glory . I grabbed my phone and Jeff frantically tried getting his bow out ! Got the picture from inside my truck before he took off .
Those double back scratchers ( drop tines ) are something else! And if he isn’t a 22 inch inside spread then I probably need glasses . Man that’s what it all about . Been after a shot at one like that for over a month. We are guessing he’s a 4 or 5 year old . Maybe next trip we will tip him over .

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
JP,
The double drop tines were the 1st thing I saw!
We won't see anything like that here in the Panhandle woods unless he's an escapee from a game farm.
Hope y'all get a crack at him and give him a ride in the pickup truck.

Re: Outdoorsman Thread
Goodness, gdogg!
Nice buck, kinda unusual having that much antler and not having brow tines/eye guards,
Brother you need to expound on what led up to the 6 stiches!
I reckon you are right handed so that won't be a problem with your trigger finger.

How long does your deer season last up there in the northeast part of the country?

Some great animals and great meat being posted up.
Whitetail are beautiful animals, someday I’ll get stateside and hunt them. A nice little rack on the wall in my house would be a real novelty.
