Eric,

Great deer!

Tom Flynn

Thanks Tom!

Saturday 11/16 is the NYS opening day for rifle. This cold snap should be interesting to see how it plays out.
Friends were here last week crossbow hunting and there was alot of movement. Saturday could be really prime and we're stoked. We're forecasting more snow over the next few days and calmer weather for Friday and Saturday but still very cold. I'm so ready to go.

Was fortunate to get a nice young whitetail buck this afternoon with my 50 cal muzzle loader. Idaho doesn't allow for optics on muzzle loaders, so have a open sight, missed the first shot. Fortunately, he let me reload and shot high in the liver, but dump it at about 80 yards. Using my #5-6 as it is a virgin and needs blood.

Good for you!!!

Nicely done Pap. That one should be great eating.
No I didn't shoot this one but found it dead on my friend's property yesterday. It was crossbow shot 10 days ago square in the shoulder and the arrow never exited. They searched the area for two days but very little blood trail.
The guy was heartbroken until Saturday afternoon when he shot a 10 point pictured below.

Very nice buck!! There was a larger buck by mine, but he took off and didn't give me a second shot that mine did. I'm a firm believer in Tink's 69, they both were hanging out where I put out that lure.

What medicine did you use? Rifle?

Pap

Dumb enough to hang around after the boom? He deserved to be shot.

Good work.

Number 1 Grandson Brandon got a nice north Idaho whitetail buck this morning. Shot with a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 25-06. Very nice buck.

Pap

Congrats to both of you. Very nice buck Pap.
