Title: Just Shot one. Putting bacon in the freezer.
Post by: addicted on March 31, 2012, 03:47:16 PM: Got in the stand at 2200 and it was all quiet until about 2240 when i heard a snap way back in the woods that perked me up. I scanned my shooting lanes after a few minutes with the scope and nothing. scanned again 20 seconds later and she just appeared out of nowhere. Sneaky sumgun. She dug into a stump and gave me a rare minute while i set up and watched her from 70 yards away in the scope. She was no monster and she appeared to be alone so I popped her behind the shoulder slightly quartering toward me taking the back of the lungs and exiting at the diaphram. She ran about 15 yards into the trees before falling over.

I called up some new hunters and sat back and taught them how to gut her up then had them help me drag her out to hang.

No lights on the shooting lanes and no spotlights. Technically illegal here. Just gotta use good glass..... so no leupolds lol.

I wish I could have used the blaser but I just need to get another mount so I can do a little bit more scope swapping. The schmidty i have on the blaser now is plenty clear enough to see in the darkness but the crosshairs are very thin so they get lost on on the dark animal. Since the blaser mounts are return to zero i'll have the daytime/drivehunt scope (schmidy) then I can swap to the night scope(meopta) when i look for pigs at night.

One of my junior enlisted came brought his car over so we could work on it. the Bmw was a bit out of my league so my neighbor came over and gave some expert help without asking for payment or gratitude. Fresh back straps for him. :tup:

Post by: addicted on April 08, 2012, 12:05:35 AM: This is what I consider the slow time of the year. only openings are young boars and foxes. April first is technically the beginning of the hunting year but May 1st is what everyone is looking forward to which is the beginning of deer season and will run all the way till the end of january. summer hunting rocks. You get to go out in shorts and a t-shirt.
