I had the pleasure of using that rifle to give a WT doe a full lobotomy at a fair distance. Absolutely beauty to shoot.

I had my gunsmith turn a laminate blank on his duplicator using an SPS stock as the original, he left the grip over sized, which I finished down slightly forward of the original, so it fits her smaller hands better.
The blank cake from Richard’s Microfit, before the loud mouth go them to quite whipping to Canada.

Son In Law Gets His Buck
With Catnthehat sitting in the blind I killed my buck out of because the Pit Boss was doing what almost 21 yr old young men do on weekends. The Son In Law drew into the blind my Daughter took her deer in.
The SIL took his mother to the blind with him(good thing they are slim folks)
The morning was a solid bust across the board.
Cat and I head back to town at 10, with an alternate plan in mind.
We had a quick breakfast, and were loading up a ground blind and portable heaters, for the new idea. When we came back into the house we were given the news that the SIL shot his buck.
Change of plans. Cat is going to that blind, the Pit Boss is going to the other blind, and I’m playing chauffeur.

Congrats to all of the successful hunters 😀
Your turn now Cat 👍. Also thanks for sharing the pictures and stories Dick 😀

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

Congrats again looks like you guys know your area well or have a lucky horse shoe
You guys try any calling or just sitting silently?
Been slower than normal calling bush deer but conditions have not been the best either. But it’s only going to get better and I know their IQ is dropping each day lol
Good luck

No calling yet, these deer were all taken in a funnel/ transition area
Dick has taken many good deer out of that stand over the years

I figured there might be a little knowledge involved in the success because dumb luck only goes so far lol
Totally different style of hunt and area between our hunts. Tight pockets in the bush for me with max visibility being 40yards so kinda stuck waiting for one dumb enough to come into a call.
But I need to get out there and try my luck or I won’t get nothing
Good luck to you guys today

Yeah this is the first time in over 50 years that I have hunted out of a heated box blind it is different!
I am a still hunter/ stalker, so it has been an education for sure !
Dick says give him a call and drop by tonight !
