woohoo - look at them G2s! nice serious buck right there - congratulations on a home grown trophy!

no - looks to me shoulder wound also - looks like hard quartering away shot - went through upper leg - went on through without penetrating chest - and hit throat area - all non lethal at the time. Probably an arrow but could be a bullet I suppose - maybe will survive it at this point -

I have a 12ga Ithaca Deerslayer II deluxe with the Monte Carlo stock, - Light-fields were indeed the best of the lot - but the BRIs in the early days of Rifled Barrel 12ga served me well. Mine was a little rattly - I know what you are saying. I retired it when CNY allowed rifle hunting. Not...

wow - that's a lot of rabbit for one day!! great job, labs are fun all the time. Chummer - I'm south of you and we never had Snowshoe rabbits. Then a couple years in the 1980s - we had a bunch of them in two different spots 10 miles apart - and we've not seen them since. Always thought that...

it sure is an Ithaca 37 featherlight. Its my second one, my back up. My baby, my original - I wore out the forestock, and replacing it messed with the threads that hold it together. I need to get it fixed but in the meantime came across another a little newer. 40 years an Ithaca fan.

When I was younger I used to grouse hunt afternoons in the fall. Bow season wasn't as important to me then and I never worried about educating the deer. These days I rarely hunt grouse in the fall, as I don't like to be shooting in the field during deer bow season - so I try to get out for a...

Hinge your roof on the front wall. Build it hanging vertical and hinge it up when it is all done - you can them build the back wall so that you have a pitch.

Agree the 12V option isn't viable. I have one tiny littl shack that I call the ice box - that I can heat with some success with a big candle. I put it up near my face on a little shelf and that makes me happy and warm enough for a few hour sit anyhow - We have several Propane options that...

definitely interesting - We have a gas pipeline with timothy and orchard grass in the mix - the deer are feeding there often enough but its the volunteer clovers and native forbs that they are keying in on. when I mow it and it comes up new - it seems to get a little more attention - your...

I've never seen one lay down the scrape before! MINE!!

id say 3.5 not knowing - but 4.5 is likely - a nice buck and a target either way - Nice day time pics Phil - Good luck with him!!

here's my most recent one - we built it all on the ground and took it apart - and sent it up pc by pc. I've got to say that I wouldn't want to build one every year though- it was not easy sending the sides up all built -

OOOOO I like the gutter filters - gonna look into that!!

Hmmmmm now I'm not sure. - Hope for you they are two similar bucks - wow!

does look a bit different - but I think its the same buck - very similar oddball left G2 makes me think so -
