Adding to the list. Bow season opened last weekend and I missed a doe at 40 on public opening day. I guessed 40 and shot right over her back. Ranged it after and it was 41.6 yds, so I just whiffed I guess?? Hunted Sunday, Tuesday, and again on Saturday. Saw deer everyday but no shots. Decided to pull my easy card early and set up at my food plot at my house today. Maybe 15 minutes in the stand and smoked her. Pretty cool doing this just 100 yds behind my house! I'm done hunting my house until the rut …late Jan early Feb. Don't want to run all the does off before then!

If you look at the picture she has a piebald face, didn't realize that before I shot her but pretty cool! And yes, it takes Sitka head to toe to kill a doe that small.lol.

I was lucky enough to draw a bull tag in Oregon this year and fill my Idaho tag as well. I'll probably never have a year like this again so I feel like I better at least give an effort to find a buck and round out the year.

Lots of meat in the freezer for sure. Congrats on a great season thus far.

I'm liking those flutes.

 

[RockyMtnMT]

Yes. Who did the fluting? Does it remove more weight than normal fluting?

LRI did the fluting. It does take off a lot more weight. My only regret with having it done was not doing an even heavier contour than the rem varmint I had done. I know lots of people had great experiences with them but mine wasn't very good especially considering the cost of that fluting!

Took this big Tom a few days ago on my property in north Idaho.
He's been eating everything on my mountain for the past 8 weeks. I had to wait for season to start.
I recognized a pattern he developed and he became complacent. He also wasn't afraid of me or my dogs.
I was waiting for him. 110 yards with a Armalite AR-10 (T) .308, 168 gr. He still ran 50 yards with no heart or lungs.
121 pounds of killing machine. I am 5'-10", 175 pounds for reference.

Me and the Deer/Elk thank you!!!

Nice bull!!! This is what we saw most of.... None on the paw mind you just lots of tracks and no elk... Deer shut down as well... NW Cascade...

That's a 6.5 PRC round for reference...

 

[Predator 22]

My son's first elk. He should have got one last year but I came down with covid during his season.
Rem 700 gen1 xtr 270 win 140 accubond.

 

[Recon$$]

Tough year. Struck out in New Mexico, Nothing to write home about in Montana so no trigger pulling and today I put 2 into a mainframe 5x5 in SD with bonus points but we can't find him... hopefully tomorrow we can locate him and add to the pole.

Cows hit the snow in CO. 30-28 Nosler and 212 ELD-X did the trick at 450yrds

 

[Bang4theBuck]

My 15 year old son harvested a nice Tenn 8pt buck Saturday eve with a 50 cal Muzzloader. This is his 3rd deer harvested and 2nd buck. It was a great evening hunt
