I’m getting back to the badlands of eastern MT for first time since getting sick 31/2 years ago. It’s essentially a truck hunt for 165-175” mule deer. Antlers in this country are wide and predisposed to extra points. I’ve seen bigger and the outfitter kills 180-190” deer every year. The outfitter has become a real friend so I’m excited. I haven’t punched a tag in years.... I enjoy seeing the country, putting a sneak on them, looking through the scope....and passing. I don’t think there’s a buck on his ranches I’d shoot the first day.
I also meet my brothers and nephews fo an archery hog hunt in TX every year between Christmas and New Years. It is a trash talking festival!
Going to shoot waterfowl in Alberta in October. It’s my new favorite yearly tradition.
I used to do the 5 mile pack in while in CO.This year we have 5A deer tag and ^a Elk tag in New Mexico archery
I have my annual carpenter bee hunt at my storage building every spring. Started out using a 22 pistol with shotshells but went to a 12 gauge with AA trap loads. Always use enough gun.
From dagga boys to bumble bees, Ruark was certainly right
A tennis racket works better. You have the satisfaction of driving them 20' with a good forehand stroke and still retrieving the carcass to hang on your meat pole.I have my annual carpenter bee hunt at my storage building every spring.
