I took my 50 cal. Brolin Arms rifle out hunting with me this morning.I saw a big doe at about 50 yards but no chance for a shot.Too bad,poop happens.I had her loaded with 90 grains of GOEX FFg and and a TC 240 grain XTP on the top of that.I don't know what kind of sabot,they came in a pack together.I knocked the snot out of a deer with that gun and load before so the doe this morning would have been in serious trouble had I gotten a chance to fire one at her.

This has been my story all season this year. I have seen a load of deer, but can't get a good bead on them. If I can't get a good shot, I pass. Had a beautiful seven pointer in my sights, but it was only an ass shot. I don't do them.
I still have from now until the first of January to get that shot. I will be going back to the woods on Monday for about four days. weatherman is calling for a possiblility of snow. Kind of rare for us here in Virigina, but I would welcome it gladly. Then I will have the last week just after Christmas and that will include both sexes.
I would love to put two more in my freezer. We love venison and eat it more then beef in my house.

Hey BP, if we got that much snow here in Viriginia it would be weird. I have never experienced that kind of snow. I can only say I have seen photos of this kind of snow fall. I agree, with that much snow you couldn't get the deer out. But then again I don't think the deer would be out and moving around. They would be huddled down or not:

Oh well!

Oh well!
