With the weapons you have to select from - do some of them leave enough of the deer in one piece to get meal from????

LOL I just called it fun. Work of course, but fun none the less. Why else would a guy do a job like IEDs and bombs?

"long range ordnance disruption." Don`t ya just love how someone in the military and/or gov`t. came up with that phase and/or name for blowing up the enemies bombs.

Seems we have to be "politically correct" as we talk about how we are engaging the enemy.

I kinda think those doing that stuff have their own way of describing the deal.

We had Barrett M-82s for long range ordnance disruption. 1,000m shots were pretty easy for a good shooter. I miss the rifles and the ammo. Shooting at bombs is a good way to pass the time!

EOD.....I`ve seen a few of those military videos where they show one of our "ace" snipers (sometimes it is a female) and they show them picking off a "Towel Head" from some staggeringly long distance away.

Blomb..............The guy gets blown away and never knew what hit him.

I totally support that kind of long distance fire power and accuracy.

I guess you`d have to go there to see how it works. It`s a big place. My friends back east have lazy boys in their tree stands. To each their own.

Everybody has their own way of hunting that works for them.

This statement....."We can hunt with a rifle and shoots are 2-300 yards average with some much greater than that. Archery is a different deal of course."

I just cannot go there. You can "drill" a buck that just may well be in the next "county" from where you are shooting from.

Each to his own as to how one perceives a good hunt and/or being "sporting".

This is why I would have gone with my buddy back many years ago cause he was into bow hunting........which obviously is a short range target deal. My career situation and his just did not match for us to get together and do that.

I have always liked "kicking` up game like pheasants/quail and rabbits while trodding through cornfields and shelter belts. Shots were made "on the fly".

It was only when I went duck/goose hunting that I just sat in a blind and they pretty much just flew in to land amongst the decoys and we pretty much had what is known as "sitting ducks"

We don`t blind hunt deer out west as a general rule. It isn`t practical with animals that have millions of acres to roam free. We get out and stock the game. We can hunt with a rifle and shoots are 2-300 yards average with some much greater than that. Archery is a different deal of course.

Good luck on getting in a few more days of hunting. Personally, I never got a chance nor really had a desire to go deer hunting with a rifle. Almost had the opportunity many years ago to go with a buddy that was in to bow hunting for deer.

I thought that would be challenging and pretty cool, but career opportunities and moving away from home base took that option away.

My personal hunting activities were primarily based upon pheasant hunting and while doing that, getting the occasional duck and/or quail/squirrel in the process.

Also did some goose blind hunting..............kinda similar in my mind to deer hunting as you sit quietly in the (heated) blind with dozens of decoys out on the water in front......and then with an experienced "caller", all ya gotta do is wait for them to come in and "set their wings" to land.............

Actually the buck scored as 11 points it had one non-typical point on the right side coming out of the base of the antler about 2 inches long. It scored 179-3/4 which is a pretty good score. I already canned the deer last Monday, I got 28 quarts of deer meat from him. I will probably go back up there and hunt a few more days next week, which will wind up there deer season in that part of the state.

nice buck...

12/1/2018 11:24:00 PM

Great buck! We`d call it a 5 point or 5x5 out west.

12/1/2018 9:51:41 PM

Don`t forget she can only get exactly 50 percent or less. The judge won`t give her more. Keep at it VT.

12/1/2018 9:47:55 PM

Good job VT. Is that a 10 pointer??? good time at the cannery with it.
