After our traditional opening weekend dinner of chicken & sausage Jambalaya I'll be loading three guns with their pet loads (while sipping an after dinner Scotch).

The .50 Omega X7 with its 4x ProDiamond and the .50 GM LRH Renegade (also wearing a ProDiamond) will each get a 250 grain Deep Curl over 95 grains of GOEX FFFg. The .58 peep sighted GM/TC Hawken will get a 285 grain .575 ball over 95 grains of FFg.

The X7 will be with me at the crack of dawn Saturday morning, overlooking the little 1/3 acre plot picture below. The Renegade will help me watch the sunset Saturday evening. And the .58 will see sunrise Sunday morning.

I hope to put a nice fat doe in the freezer, but sure wouldn't pass on a mature buck. It will be a great weekend even if I don't make meat. It's a long season and the meat will be there sooner or later.
