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.

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!
