SO I HUNT

Great find looks like the thirds are a little weak?

Again Camera Land is the greatest place to deal with! Called Joel up on a camera I was looking for. A gift for the wife and he gave me the best price and even a coffee cup to boot:) Thanks Joel!!!!!!! Also Doug is a great person to deal with, bought all my Leicas with Camera Land as well and will buy again when the time comes!!! Regards Stacy

Well I'm not much for writing so bare with me:) It all started on Monday 8th, the hike in and set up for glassing like I had done since opening day of the hunt, but today I had with me CramerHunts with me and for par he made it there before I had and was already glassing up deer before I was set up ( yes I am not fast at going up as I am at going down steep knobs ). So when I get set up I ask what are you seeing and he said does and a spike. So I start glassing back in a spot where we have been seeing bucks and I had made a stock into the day before but couldn't find the buck I was looking for and was hoping to glass up this morning? As I start glassing I find three bucks and tell CramerHunts three bucks which now he is glassing in the same spot has me and watching these buck spare. Funny thing about the sparing was there was a big 2 point and what we called the meidum three point and a small three point, well the bigger three and the big two started sparing and the little three would join in to make it a three sum spare ( never seen this happen and it was great to experince what we were watching) Well after watching this for about 15 minutes I looked over to CramerHunts and told him I wanted to take the big two point ( needed to be done for the gene pool right ) anyways we decide to glass them until they bed down ( 2 candles and 3 hours later they finally bed down, yes I said candles cramerhunts was on the phone with his wife as we watched the bucks do their thing and she sells candles so I had to get my order in for the up coming holidays ) Now since they bedded down the game was on! I got all my gear on and on my way up and down I went until I was set up for the shot. It was great to sit there and watch this buck lay in his bed @ 230 yards away. This area doesn't get cell service in most areas we hunt, but it just happened that we were able to use it this time so we were texting back and forth instead of using radios. Well after about 15 minutes of watch and waiting CramerHunts texted to let me know that he was going higher to glass another area and I had replied K back and than the buck stood the same momment I sat the phone down so I aimmed and shot------------------------------- @ the same time that I'm aiming cramerhunts is texting me he is up and before he could send the buck was down so in the same text it read bucks up. Great shot.. What a text book stock and shot Big thanks to my hunting partners and a bigger thanks to CramerHunts not just for helping out on this deer but for everything you have done! You are a true friend!

Hope everyone has a great feast and save travels too!!!!! Good luck to all the late Nov. deer hunters too!

Plus 1 on that and we have had the same results with the cameras as well.

Nice pictures thanks for sharing....

Congrats to your boys and you. Also thanks for sharing your hunt with us...

Nice bucks and looks like you guys had a great time..

Very nice buck.

What a shame hope they catch them!

GREAT JOB AND WECLCOME TO THE WORLD OF HUNTING!

Nice bull and that is a tough hunt to boot! Congrats on a great bull!

Hey buddy nice write up and clip! Sure was fun this year and the food was the best with your dads cookin doesn't get any better than that!!! Great shot on the buck seems that the scope and gun are a great match. Let me know when the candles get in? Also thinking of buying a chrono just seems that would be a great thing to have with the reloading I got to do now..

Thanks for all the kind words. As far as other pictures we were having problems with the sun which limited our photo shoot Also this was one of the largest bodied C.Whitetail I have ever shot! We guessed him in the high 120's Again I would like to say thank you for all the nice comments....

Well I thought of this a while back and thought it was time to make it! Here's what I used : 1. 1'' X 1/2" alum. bar 2. gun rest forks were bought from wally world (bought and took them off of the shooting stick) 3. drilled (6) 1/4" holes for the front of the rest so you can adjust where it fits you best. 4. drilled back hole for the second rest 1" from the end. 5. drilled and tapped a 3/8" hole for tripod if you aren't using a fast release plate. 6. drilled and tapped a 1/4" hole for fast release plate. I drilled and tapped 1" past center for 3/8" hole and 1-1/2" past center for the 1/4" threaded hole, this balanced the rilfe out great and seems to work well with the other rifles I have too. Total cost for this was $21.00 I owned the drill bits and taps already and had a extra release plate. I plan on painting this a flat black or something in a camo?

So where abouts do you hunt? Also them there pictures look a like some I got too

Wow--- what a hunt Glad you had great will power to over come such mad women and what a great buck. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us!

Be carefull any where around portal lots of private land around there and unfriendly people! West side of the mountains are better I think?

HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job, way to go!

I guess the comment to serve is to say you're in the arm forces or you made your bed and you're ready to run? If you do serve than thank you for your service On another note for being someone new you sure have a way of making friends kinda of like going to bed with a bed roll full of rattle snakes! Guess you just feel that all people owe you with the last comment you made? Been around self center people like you and no thanks. You can throw what ever comments back at me doesn't matter and I've looked at your about me seem you're a little afraid to comment in there or maybe you're a little with drawn from being a part of this site and more a part to be a azz hole! What ever your hang up is you'll be gone and we'll still be here have forgot this ever came up....... Always a rotten apple somewhere I guess ( I've been told that and I really believe it now ) Have nice trip

This is like new, I opened it and tried it once and find myself going back to the old way ( can't teach a old dog new tricks ) Anyways I may have had it turned on for about 30 minutes? $170.00 obo
