2012 Bow Season starts 10/1!?!

[block head]

The Dunbar clan ate like kings tonight. Butter poached tenderloins , pan seared mallards, garlic mashed potatoes w green beans. Freezer is starting to take on a doomsday prepper ambiance. Cutting my own meat makes for a long day. Felt strange to feel my fingers when butchering.

Just slathered down a grilled back strap over here at the Cully residence. Warshed down with some Sierras and a little red vino. Feeling just CAPITAL!!!

Also shopping for a .270.....

Delivered some steak meat and a backstrap to a land owner. Making an investment in 2013. 2 more weeks, then I'll fall back in love with my poor tank.

Come to the darkside cully. My poor rifle has been riding the bench. Save some pennies and take a trip out west when you get it.

my season is over. finally got some horns... too bad coyotes brought this one down. i've got meat in the freezer , so i don't feel bad about eating my buck tag. time to return to the woods with the dogs. hopefully the grouse play nice.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Probably a bow hunters bad shot. We get blamed for everything. Nice rack!

Found a six near a creek today. Figure someone gut shot him, but he'd been there quite a while and was picked pretty clean

As I turned off our our street this morning, I heard a loud POP! No more than 100 yards down the road was a Sheriff puting one between the eyes of a doe eyed girl. I almost wanted to stop and ask for the remains (is that wrong?). I could have had her skinned, cleaned and on my plate for dinner tonight... but I was on the verge of being late to work so I carried on with my voyage. Lucky for me, I arrived to work with one minute to spare and walked into the department with two call-ins. Can people just come to work!!??

I know this wma well. Nobody is bowhunting it regularly. Fresh kill. I didn't find an entrance or exit wound. Looked like the deer put up a good fight. The second day it was almost picked clean. I found a fox living deep in the catails today. Reds used to be thick. Now they are only a few living in marginal habitat.

I had to finish one for a greece cop this year. He was pretty thankful. Unfortunately it wasn't even salvageable for dog food.

Years ago when I used to take my dirt bike up behind the old Copperfields bar ,around the rock quarry. I remember it being near the end of summer because the tall grass trail I was ripping through had turned brown. Heading down a straight away with a friend on his bike,and we came up on a huge buck that was severly injured and suffering like I have never seen or imagined anything could be alive with the wounds it had. Its stomach had been opened up after being hit by a vehicle.It smelled horrible and we were a good distance from it.This thing was literally rotting alive. Long story short we headed back ,called to police and we took them to it where it still layed, they put it out of its misery.

Thought I'd start him early

 

[Capt_Cully]

I'm guessing daddy has taken more shots with it than junior...

 

[sedorusc]

It's surprisingly accurate at five feet too!

 

[Capt_Cully]

11/5 buck. Grossed just under 114". If he didn't knock off that brow he'd have been close to 120 or just over. Net as he sits is 108.

 

[sedorusc]

We can cut the other side even and glue it to mine so neither one is asymmetrical. Anyone doing any other type of hunting now. I've gotten into predator hunting. Called in a beautiful red fox Saturday. Too bad fox closed on Friday.

 

[Capt_Cully]

I'd like to, but I'm on good behavior until next whitetail season. Might, MIGHT, go for turkey. Not really my thing though.

Who's doing your beast Chris?

 

[sedorusc]

Bushallow taxidermy. We'll see how it turns out. Getting him officially measured when I get him back. Predator hunting just gave me an excuse to buy a .223 too bad I can't find ammo for it

 

[Jacwil]

Awesome deer you guys! !!! Well done!

I picked up a S&W MP 15-22 last month and it's a riot to shoot.

Basically an AR in .22 LR. I've had to buy all my ammo online.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Nice, my gun safe has definitely bulked up during these crazy times. No ARs here though. Just a few thunder makers that say, "unexpected visitors are UNwelcome!"

It's nuts. You can't even buy regular ammo. Stuff is sold out everywhere.

 

[PufferNut]

Time to brush up on hand loading.. ammo is plentiful in my house.. just takes time and care.
