First off sorry to hear about your dad. Good luck and make sure you take lots of pictures. Your last post reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy skit where he breaks down how much it costs per pound for deer hunting. It is hilarious.

Great job. It isn't always about killing a buck. I tell people about some of the hunts when I get back that I don't kill anything and usually they don't understand that it was still successful.

Those are some great pictures.

Where are you located?

Calling works well or scares them out of the country. I have called them in several times and shot my last pig at 3 yards with a bow as it was charging. I usually don't call though until the herd has been spooked. I was out calling coyotes the other day and spotted some pigs. We got the wind in our face and just slowly walked into them for the fun of it. We were within 20 yards easily. Just go slow.

I use the 140 grain Berger VLD's for my 270WSM and love them. No experience with a 300 ultra mag though.

That is a great year. You put some miles on too.

Beautiful pictures. Those are post card quality.

Excellent video. Looked like a hunt that you will remember for the rest of your life. That was a bunch of meat and antlers you had to haul out!

As far as the shootings go there will be more. My wife was telling me last night that she read that the gang bangers latest thing is painting the ends of their assault weapons barrels orange like the toys are. So now it will be even harder to distinguish what they actually have. It will be one more thing that the police will have to think about.

Great buck. Hopefully your hunting partner will post his buck.

That was my first bow. It was shooting my set up right at 250 fps. The bow was very forgiving and easy to shoot. I switched to a Parker bow that I never liked as much. I think it is a great entry level bow.

Great bucks Phil. I really enjoyed the play by plays that I got from Chef during both stalks. It looks like you all had a great time. Congrats

That is awesome. Looks like your Christmas came a little early.

Great post. I kind of felt sad for the guy there at the end. I think I would rather take a bullet and go out in style.

Well so far you have about every animal out there. I think the second one looks like deer rubbing their antlers.

Put a trail camera on them if you have one. That would definitely tell you when they are hitting them.

great video!

You are right Amanda. As nice as his trophy room is I enjoyed his porch even more. I joked to him several times about him almost causing me to get a divorce more then once because I stopped by to talk for a minute and ended up staying for hours.

It was a great memorial. Woody was one of the best men that I have ever had the privilege of knowing. It will never be the same going to Young again. I always looked forward to hanging out on his porch.

I have a Ruger 10/22 that I got from someone in the family and has just been sitting. It would make a great starter rifle or Christmas present for some youngster. The outside of the barrel shows some rusting but the inside is nice. And the wood is in very good condition. I have taken it out a few times just plinking and it shoots great. I also have an extra clip for it. First $100 takes it.

SPF That was like a mini black Friday frenzy.

Wow, you have an awesome spot there. A little of everything.

Great couple of bulls there. I love all the pictures. Looks like a fun time.

Sounds like a good time. The boys look like they are enjoying it. And that is a great buck.
