When I had read your earlier thread, I hoped that you would find a way to make everything work out for you, and I am glad to hear you have succeeded. I have wondered a time or two how it was going for you. Glad to have you back.

As far as the sack punch for not posting pictures, I would just take it. I think the double sack punch rule for rifle pics in the bowhunting forum would be worse. We went through that one last week.:D:D:D

I too remember your thread clearly and still understand. Its good to see you back.

RE: I'm back
 

Thanks for the welcome back!

Glad to be back!


I can post a few pics. maybe the doe with the pistol will get me some mercy for posting firearm taken deer in a bowhunting forum.

I almost let this doe walk but the landowner had told me he wanted some meat. I was hesitant to shoot at first.

Long story short, the landowner posted his land but will still let me hunt. I've given him deer in the past. He likes venison. He told me that he wouldn't mind having a doe. Since I pretty much had the place to myself, I thought I'd return the favor.

I watched the doe for a while from my tree stand. Thought I'd let her get close and take her with the pistol. Never got one with a pistol. It was a similar experience to bowhunting. Ruger Security-Six (4") .357, for those interested. Gift from my father some time ago.


Got the buck the following day late afternoon. Was still chasing does.


It felt wierd hunting this year. No pressure to tag out. And no hunting pressure from other hunters since the property was now posted.


I still have a doe tag but I'm done unless I decide to go out with a flintlock after Christmas.

Cool, nice buck! I carried my 4" Dan Wesson .357 once this year, but didn't shoot. I want to take a deer with it some day. I have shot them with my 15" Encore in .260 rem, but want to use the the old .357 some day also. I shot one with my old 50 cal iron sighted Renegade last year using a patched round ball, that was pretty cool too.
