    As promise earlier here's a couple pics of the sportered 1909 Argentineicon along with a pair of bucks I took with it this morning plus one of my old jeep. I was watching a doe grazing down the fire break about 10to 6 but was unable to tell if it was a yearling or adult due to the low light. About the time it got light enough to tell she was grown along comes Mr. Cowhorn buck with romance on his mind and she takes off through the pines, evidently she's not in the mood. Mr Buck stops just inside the first row of trees appearantly trying to decide what to do next so I send one his way in between two of the trees. I see him take off and from the looks of it I missed. Well a few minutes later out comes a yearling to graze and right behind her was the buck, or so I thought. Anyway the yearling runs back in the pines and the buck comes to a halt just a few feet from where he was when I shot the first time. I take another poke at him and down he goes. Uh huh, I got you that time ole boy. I get him loaded up and head to the house following the fire break around the other side of the pines and when I round the curve there lays a dead deer in the road. I didn't miss after all.

    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?

    Our deer seem to have up and moved to South Carolina. Have pulled the trigger only on a running coyote. And missed at 15-20 yards! Twice. That or it just didn't go down, but it was like shooting blanks at a deaf varmint. Weird year in the woods. Spending lots of time there and not in front of the computer. So....

    Anybody else field testing their milsurps in the woods?

    I don't recall ever seeing a living coyote that wasn't running. They always seem to be in a hurry, they don't know where they're going but there's no use in being late. Don't feel bad JM, I've missed them not much further away than that with buckshot. Down right embarrassing when there's folks watching.
    Anywho, here's a few more that attracted my attention since my last update:

    Over here, we have a minimum calibre for shooting deer, 7mm ( iirc ) ... so most milsurps will be sufficient.
    No deer where I shoot but I made sure I had more than 7mm ... try 590 !! This is the result. Overkill??? mebbe Still hunting with milsurps !

    That seems a bit restrictive. Lot of 6mm and 6.5mm' s out there more than capable of shooting deer.

    Yup, there are a lot of restrictions that are just plain silly.

    You've killed more deer than I've seen this year! But it seems to be a factor of the failed mast crop. Nobody in the area is getting much activity.

    Looks like you've had a bit of rain up there judging by how high and fast that creek is running. I didn't do any good today either, obviously they had better sense than I did and found a dry spot out of the wind to hole up in.
    I got a nice 8 point yesterday before this front came in but had to pitch it. It had been shot in the right shoulder at the blade joint and was full of infection. Best I could tell from the angle of the wound it was either sharply quartering away from or facing the shooter. This is why I avoid such shots.
    Had he been healthy I guesstimate he would've went 200 pounds or a little better. What a waste.
