I've hunted pretty hard most of the last 8 days. Shot 2 does with my Slug gun this last Monday (in the rain) and have carried the 44mag with me everywhere I've gone but just haven't seen ANY bucks bigger than small basket racks other than once and have yet to have a buck present itself for a makeable shot.

Today is the last day for me to have a chance at a buck this year and I'm about to head out and try once more. Wish me luck, I'll need it I think.

Tomorrow, late muzzle loader season starts and runs through Jan 10th and I have 2 doe tags for that season and I will be hunting exclusively with the Ruger SRH for that season.

I need to get "1st blood" with this beautiful handgun!
