Deer hunting with Randy....

[JohnCushman]

We ate good food....when the diner wasn't out of everything....But Gerald's elk loin was something to die for

A fine crew of hunting buddies...

I'm supposed to be working today, but hard to when I'm waiting on the next installment. Gerald, congrats to Gareth on a nice fat deer. That oughta be some fine eating.

Congrats to young Gareth!

I think sometimes guys get too serious about their hunts. Not that it shouldn't be taken seriously, but if having fun isn't one of the reasons you do it then there's something wrong.

This is shaping up to be a good one..

Might have to beat one of the fellows on this thread if he won't post up a picture of his buck!

A good story teller uses whittle and spit as punctuation marks. Cush knows how to work a campfire podium.....; )

This thread reminds me of a sheep hunt earlier this year. I hope this one doesn’t take a week to get to pic of a buck. I’m chomping at the bit to see those boys shoot a buck, especially a first buck.

Since I'm heading off the grid for a week, I'll post this now. I'll check in when I get back.

Nice one Randy

Very nice whitetail. Looking forward to the rest!

So we drive up to this buck a bit and Randy says he's definitely branch antlered. That's all I needed to hear. We bail out of the truck and I get set up on my bipod. Randy ranges him for me...265 yards, uphill, slightly quartered to us. One shot from my Howa 30-06 with handloaded accubonds was all it took. We heard the thump and the buck's legs dropped out from under him. Whoo hoos and expletives and hugs erupt. We make our way up the hill....



One thing I had to promise about the trip is that I'd let Randy gut my deer...

 

[Festus]

SWEET! I love it when a plan comes together. Congrats, John.

 

[LCH]

Good work Cush!

 

[Gr8bawana]

That's funny I can't remember the last time somebody let me gut their deer.
