I didn't have to go in to work at the usual hour. I went out the back door and wandered for a few hours.

It was nice to slow down for a while.
I have a model 20 that is awesome. I have a model 30, same frame size as a 29 and it is easily to conceal and accurate. You will not be disappointed with oneGreat picture of the early morning deer.
Like the 29 also.
I recently scratched the 44mag itch with a S&W 69. Now I have this crazy 10mm itch that may need tobe scratched soon
Hope you were able to put a big Wisconsin buck downHunting this warm afternoon. My carry is my Ten Point Titan Xtreme.

I saw three woodcock walking in. They are so cool
Special congrats to @460Shooter. Over 1250 posts. I hope you are getting out and enjoying the outdoors.
Not yet. I am afraid that this coming week is going to be slow. After Halloween the rut should be in full swing.Hope you were able to put a big Wisconsin buck down

Even though it took about 4 hours, I still enjoyed the outdoors today as most days!
I zoomed in...but couldnt identify either.
I'm still kicking around an 'outdoorsman gun ' . I can't decide between a s&w 29 or a 10mm 1911.
Awesome looking hunting grounds. Hopefully they produce a nice one or two for you.I love fall! Made a trip to my hunting land to check on a stand, it needs to be moved. Anyway that will wait for after the rut and before rifle season. I then went out to Sandhill Park.

I did take a break on one of the Leopold benches that are scattered through the 9150 acers of wetlands and woods.

@Armored farmer mentioned taking his Bible to read on the stand. I think I will take my copy of A Sand County ALMANAC By Aldo Leopold copywrite 1949. It has been a few years since I last read it.
Thanks, a couple of photos are our hunting land and others are of Sandhill.Awesome looking hunting grounds. Hopefully they produce a nice one or two for you.
How does the xdm handle the 255's? How much of a recoil increase over standard 230 gr rounds?
Thanks for the information.Thanks, a couple of photos are our hunting land and others are of Sandhill.
My father bought the land in 1993 and has provided us endless hours of enjoyment. It has a good mix of woods and marsh. It boarders agriculture fields on one side (dairy farm) and woods on the other two that are also used primarily for hunting.
The XDM compact handles the 255+p loads fine. Yes there is more recoil, but not a significant increase. I contacted Springfield Arms to confirm that I could shoot +p from the pistol and they replied that XD series handguns are +p rated.
I have been carrying it a little more now that the weather is cooler and covers well with a shirt OWB.
