Really thought it was a yearling
Buddy and I hunted a piece of private land, yesterday. Legal area for controlled hunting by permit for antlerless deer, new to us. We each picked a skid trail, a mile apart and worked toward each other. Frostey frozen leaves, no way to move without making noise, I was grunting on a buck call as I skulked along. Caught a smallish deer standing, hesitated, thinking I could use a little more burger/steaks than that, seasons getting along, what the heck....bang! Walked along a blood trail Ray Charles could have followed to this nice fat buck.

Give me a modest rack and a young buck in fine condition anytime. The other fellers are welcome to the tough old mossbacks.

Re: Really thought it was a yearling
Nicely done! Personally I'd rather hunt a wise old doe than a buck. Doe is a much smarter critter if you ask me. Plus they usually much better table fare!

Re: Really thought it was a yearling
Who said it first? I've read it, heard it somewhere. How about "Helen Keller could have found that deer? (Abraham Lincoln). Happy now, 2ndovc, or am I still in trouble? (I stole that, too). Anyhow, been wanting to try out cast bullets in the 30-30 and finally bought a Lee Mould for 170 gr gas checked bullets, powder coated and sized at .311. Cast of clip on wheel weights + a dash of solder in the pot to give it a little tin, shooting into two inches at 100 yds, no leading. 29 grains of IMR 3031 . The carbine is a 1955 version. I've got a pair of 1947s , one 30-30 and the other 32 Winchester Special, but neither are tapped for receiver peep sight OR a tang sight! Both Flat Bands! Also have a 1939 that is drilled for tang sight, but borrowed the Marbles tang sight for my 1911 92 in 25-20 with a re-lined barrel.

When you get a blood trail that good, you know you are going to have meat. Congratulations. Hope that venison is good eating.

Re: Really thought it was a yearling
Nice job! I've always thought does have better meat than bucks. As far as I'm concerned the only reason to shoot a buck is if you have a wall that needs something hanging on it.

Re: Really thought it was a yearling
When I was a kid in Michigan killed my first deer in 1961, a small buck. Have that rack on a plaque on the wall of my gun room. There was NO doe hunting, and even when Michigan finally opened limited doe permits, the older guys really frowned on anybody shooting a doe!! Lowest form of life! Deer populations started to explode in the late 70s and 80s, public opinion slowly changed and guys found out how much better a doe usually tasted than that rutty buck, shot in late Nov. given a choice, I'll usually take the biggest buck, but this late in the season, if it's brown, it's down.
