My PC has been out of servic for awhile ... just got it going a couple of days ago ...
Been busy myself .... still managed to get some time in the field .... haven't connected with anything big yet but have a good season so far . Started out rough with 4 missed shots
?? . Did some equipment modifications , switched back to 2216's with 130 grain Wasp cam locks and the next 3 shots were bang on ! 2 , 10 yard shots with 60 yard recoverys and 1 , 35 yard shot with a 80 yard recovery ( all double lung ) Filled my WMU87 doe tag and my WMU80 doe tag . Filled a group tag on an invite out hunt when 2 fork horns and a spike came in to a rattling sequence . One of the fork horns got scrappy and came right in to lick my tinks bottle ..... trying to buckle down and target a nice racked buck to fill my primary tag before seasons end .... here are some pictures from the season so far .Sniper Sandman
Red Label with his climber
Me coming down after an a.m. stand .
This buck walked under my stand before legal shooting time in the a.m. , I wasn't all the way up the tree and had to sit real still until he walked into the corn field . He came back out of the corn later in the a.m. approx 100 yards away but never came back my way . Sorry for the blurry image but I zoomed it in to I.D. his rack for future refrence and I was shooting 800 film which gets real graining when enlarged .
One of the does at our friendly heighborhood mennonite butcher.
A sequence of shots of the fork horn from when he was under the stand to the shot follow-up , arrow recovery , blood trrail and recovery .
Some other misc pic's from Pheasants at Peele Island , Mangey coyotes under the stand , Gliders over the stand , Acrobat Racoons searching for berries in the trees beside the stand , a Red squirel watching it all , to a weasel hunting under the stand ....
Again .... congrats to all , and good luck to you all in your adventures in the field till seasons end !!
& then only 1 week before the shotguns hit the bush again
