my hunting pics.

I really enjoyed looking at all the hunting pics on here today- especially those from Northern Rancher and Soapweed- AWSOME- I wish i had a place with that quality of deer to hunt- any chance either of u let fellow cattlemen hunt on your land, hint, hint :wink:

Here are pics of some of the deer i got the last 2 years- no monsters but good eatin' We did get one monster on our land back in 93 and haven't seen anything close since. We just shoot whatever we can get a shot at here and consider ourselves lucky.

Got the ones in the first pic this year with my new Marlin 30-30 with peep site- I am into the cowboy guns. Got the ones in the second pic in 05 with my ruger m77 ultra light 30-06.

Those are nice looking deer too-wish I had that Marlin-were just real;ly lucky that some mild winters have really let the deer populations expand. There isn't much access where I hunt and the road warriors and bush pushers can't get at it. If your patient and copyote around long enough you usually can get a shot at a pretty nice buck. Any deer is a good deer just sometimes the deer gods smile on you a bit more.

So in other words- all the nice bucks get pushed to your land after the first couple days of the season? Nice.

Yes- the deer gods really smiled on u this year- I can't say it enough- AWSOME.

I got the marlin for $400 - a $200 trade in. Its the high grade model with the walnut stock. U can get the cheaper version with hardwood stock for around $300 i think- they are great guns. especially in the brush country when u gotta shoot fast. Those peep sites are very accurrate out to 100 yards and beyond.

They make good bear and moose guns too. Have you tried the new Hornady Evolution ammo for them.

I bought some but haven't tried it yet. I don't really need it for where i use it but i here it makes a bigger wound channel to drop em quicker.
