Put another notch in the belt tonight. Between a good buck this morning and this pig, it’s been a fine day in the field.
Another productive hunt in Arkansas with my brother. 3 does and a coyote on Tuesday. 08:00-10:00 A.M. Sitting in a turkey chair on the ground. This is my first quad and 5th or 6th triple over there. Rifle is the same one every year. 1960’s model 1894 in 44mag.Quite the “marksman” shootin him in the foot! That’s a small target!

Lol! Yeah. That’s from shooting him in the bottom side of his head after he was already down. Must have caught him as he was trying to kick his feet to get up.Quite the “marksman” shootin him in the foot! That’s a small target!

I kinda figured the two extra does died of fright when he touched off that big lever gun.

I figured his brother probably got to shoot something.

He must like his brother more than I like mine.
Best friends. We don’t fight about anything. We refuse to. But to say we hated each other growing up is an understatement.

I was just teasing. My brother and I have been very close since our parents passed. He just made 6000 acres of prime hunting land available to me. Hard to hate him after that.

My brother and I must have come from different parents. He loves the big city and traveling to foreign big cities. I love the "sticks" and hunting. His hunting consisted of shooting a blue jay with a BB gun.
We are cordial to one another but that's it.

Four tags left to fill, family is scurrying around trying to get them filled before they expire on Sunday. Late black powder and archery season right now. Brother got this buck today, Grandson downed another doe. Fresh snow is making it easier. Hope to have close to 400+ lbs of venison in the freezer.

2020 season is done....done....done. Finished up filling tags this morning, 
no big bucks this year but the freezer is nearly full. Calculate roughly 480 lbs of venison....if 95% ground beef is going for $5 per pound, that's about $2400 of meat.
There is hope for next year....got this big 8pt on camera, if he makes it through the winter should be a dandy.

Caught this ol boy looking for love in the Mississippi snow this morning. Ruger No. 1 in 300 Win Mag put him down where he stood at 97 yards.

3 deer in the freezer

Added another doe to the freezer this morning. Took the 6.5x55 with 140 grain Hornady Superformance ammo. 100 yard shot. Deer ran maybe 30 yards before she piled up. I guess I’ll take the ol 257 Roberts out next.

Got this guy Monday. I was watching 4 does feeding in front of me, and this one came stomping in. Our rut goes pretty much from now through Feb, with the season ending first week in March. Not a bad deer for my area- Fl panhandle is great for meat, but don't expect B&C. I decided to use a black rifle. No idea why some people keep saying they aren't suitable for sporting purposes. He was DRT from a Winchester 150 grain power point.

Got this girl with a 190 grain 300 BLK Hornady sub-x from about 25 yards a few weeks back, on the last doe day. And another doe with my 30-40 Krag carbine using 180 grain core-lock. No pics of the Krag deer- put her down nicely, but mis-estimated the angle. Stomach ended up on the outside. I normally just go for a couple of does in the early season, and hold off on my buck until later when the late-Jan/Feb rut kicks in. All my "trash" left over goes to a local zoo to feed the big cats, wolves, etc., and they are grateful to get it.
The only time I was able to go hunting this year was the Friday after thanksgiving. The only thing I saw all day was this doe which my .308 effectively took care of. Meant to make a head shot and she lunged forward when a rutting buck broke out of the cover and startled her. This was a managed hunt so I could not take the buck.....next year if he is still around he just might meet the .308 as well.
