Hello Boys

I don't posthere much, but I do drop in to see what's going on from time to time. I took the old 54 cal. T/C Renegade for a walk today. Shot a nice fat doe at about 2 PM.

Conditions were pretty fair for sneaking around. I park near a small knoll where deer often bed, and if the wind is right I like to check it on my way to where I take a stand. This time I found deer bedded before they knew I was there, but could not tell what they were. I can only shoot one buck per season, and I got him back in November. Had to stand and watch them for almost tem minutes. Finally the deer I was watching stood up and even though I could see no horns the body was big enough to make me wonder. The cover there is thick, but I had a small opening to shoot through. The deer began to get nervous, and stepped into that hole. I took the only clear shot I had, a neck shot at 50 yds or so, and instantly saw tailsbounding away. I reloaded and eased up there, thinking I might find only tracks, but there was my deer, laying dead as a cod. There were two others with it that I had not seen. The 435 gr maxiball driven by 100 gr of Pyrodex hit right where I aimed.

She's a big girl, over 130 dressed. I'll weigh her tomorrow. Shot one as nice not far away from this spot last year and I posted about it then. I'm as tickled with this one as I was a year ago.

For those that are still going after them, good luck and safe hunting.....
