Pics from today.

Post by chris4570 »

Went out to take down my last stand this morning. Decided I would do some scouting, look for sheds, and set up my trail cam(try to see who made it through the season).

Before I got to my spot I talked to a farmer about hunting his property, his daughter owns it so he'll have to talk to her but he said more likely than not :) ! Find out next weekend.

I just finished setting up my trail cam and began to move towards my stand and I saw a couple deer about 150 yards away but angling towards me. I waited them out and managed to get some pics as they got closer. After they bounded away, I paced them off at 25 yards.

Also flushed a dozen turkey! They make a ton of racket when they take off.

Great pics Chris. Good luck with the private property permisson. I have been saying for some time now that I want to start asking around, but like most things, it keeps getting put off :oops: .

great pics, and i too am guilty of putting off the look for more property, when you dont own your own acerage you can never have enough permission!

It was a beautiful crisp morning. Perfect for scouting!

I do hope to expand the "range".

I will be asking permission strictly for bowhunting. I don't own a 45-70 any more. Was stolen a few years back. Still love the caliber though!


Will try asking a few more farmers/landowners next weekend. Can't hurt.

Good pics!
I miss my 45/70, too. I've owned a few over the years, but the last one was probably the most fun & accurate. A T/C condender pistol. At the time it wasn't legal for deer hunting, so I let it go to a new home. Today it would be legal. We used to target practice in an old stone quarry, and a beer bottle at 100 yards was an easy target with it. Took a few sessions to get the wrists toughened up, but after I shot it for a summer it was nothing for me to put 50 to 100 rounds through it in an evening. You sure didn't have to look for a dent in the primer to see if it had gone off! :lol:
