What are you hunting/fishing?

The pay-off.
This afternoon I arrowed this guy. He did me the courtesy of going down within sight of my stand. Since I am colorblind and a poor blood trailer, this really helps out.
processhead Yay for you. It had to be worth the wait.

My sons are colorblind and have to call the old man to blood track for them. I have always told them to make sure of their shots, because the old man may not always be around to track for them. They listened pretty good. Since they have been hunting by themselves, they have never had to make that call. I guess its a real incentive for shot placement. Glad you harvested one.

I think I am changing my game of choice. Just been stung 2X by a frickin’ hornet. Same hornet, each hand, payback is coming.
YooperDog I despise hornets.

Thanks, He had a broken G2 on the left side, and after skinning him today, I could see he had his share of body bruises from encounters with other bucks.

It is kind of hard to explain. I can see blood on a light background like snow pretty well.
When the red blood is on a green or brown background like normal leaves and vegetation, it just turns brown and is hard to pick out from the back ground.
If there is enough of it, I can see it shine while it’s still wet, but if there is dew or rain, it all looks the same.

processhead we skinned out a buck one year that was a fighting fool. He had a puss filled sore under his eye. He broke 3 tines. When we rolled the skin off his neck we found a 4 inch long broken tine in his neck muscles from another buck! Tough animals!!!

Gotta brag on my 12 year old son. Got his first bowkill ever this morning. He did it by himself cause I was hunting another property. He’s been hunting this buck since October 1st. He passed on alot of smaller bucks waiting for this guy and it paid off. I’m so proud of him to finally show that patience. He did shoot him a little too far back but he only went about 100 yards. I really enjoyed teaching him and my daughter how to follow a blood trail. It was a great day.

cdavis awesome! I love to see kids get involved in the outdoors!!! Great buck!

ND Mike thanks. I’m telling you this boy is on cloud 9. He’s hooked for life.

cdavis Congrats to your son! That is a fine deer.
-
now that he has harvested one teach him how to process it into what he likes to eat

calldoctoday yep for sure. I won a Thompson Center Omega inline and shot it once and sold it! It was just like shooting my regular deer rifle. I love using a traditional style rifle.
ND Mike Thompson makes a great product that I like, but just don’t like the idea of the in-lines. As you indicated, too much like you regular smokeless rifle. I ran across a guy several years ago that made his own, from scratch, flintlocks. I got to shoot a few of them & it was amazing, wonderful. It takes a real craftsman to create all that from scratch & have it work. I have always wanted to get me a Kentucky long rifle in .32 caliber, but have never found it yet. I made some CVA .50 caliber kits a long time ago & really like them, but the .32 would really be nice. I also restored an old Hopkins & Allen 12 gauge a long time ago that was the best shooting little shotgun ever, but I do not shoot it at all any more.

cdavis that is awesome!!!
