I wish all of you the best in this endeavor. Too bad Big Tim Sullivan's baby prevents me from joining.

Just minutes into the season, an eight point showed up at 50 yards, I had left the revolver in the house, and was carrying only the 7-08 encore. One tag done.Pic in the bragging board, noit sure how to get it here

See if that works
Good job on the buck. Starting the season off right. Posting pics aren't that difficult. I had to read the instructions last week.

i had two 170 lb does down by 7:30 and i could have shot more if i had more tags.shot them with my 870 with a red dot love that red dot.i just got my pistol permit a few weeks agoe so i cant wait till next yr, i will be packing the revolver..

Thanx Eric, I can't find that tutorial, thanx for the help.

Shot a doe with the slug gun early as i didnt get any during bow season. Then hit a buck with the 44 smith. Did a backflip then fell down and kicked. Got up and ran off with no blood anywhere. Very odd. Then shot another doe tonight with the 7wsm striker at 330 yards. Man those 140 VLDS work well! Band flop not even a kick. Buck patrol now. Maybe get some more doe tags and fill the freaser

sounds like still had great day ..was there hair from the buck ?.

Nothing i could find. Very odd. Even where it was down kicking no hair or blood. And there was a good frost so it should have shown up
