Rained all day yesterday. Woke up this morning to two inches of fresh snow and 24*. Had a small buck come in at about 60 yards this morning. Got to be at least 3 on one side. Came home tonight to hunt out back in the morning.

Bummer about all the rain...
I'm hunting in the morning too !
Got the new stock and scope on the Texan and sighted it today...WOW I'm impressed!
Took 7 shots with NSA 254s the first hitting low left on the target and started dialing from there.
Target was at 80 yards and last 4 oh yah!!!

The new stock looks pretty good. I bet it’s more comfortable. If you miss him, I don’t think it’s the gun’s fault! No deer this morning. Should have been squirrel hunting. They were everywhere. I had a Black, Grey and 2 Fox squirrels in the tree next to me at one time. And they weren’t young ones.

Yah I didn't have any luck this morning either. They cut the corn in my honey hole while I was setting this morning and only one small doe came out. The main rut is about over and now need to find spots in between cover and food to find a decent buck. Or find a good pocket of does for the secondary rut in early December. Little harder hunting now with less activity and those does will start bunching up!
Oh yah your right about the Texan! It's a huge improvement in feel and accuracy! I'll be calling for some yotes after deer season and the Texan will be on duty again!

They have been picking the corn field across the tracks from my stand today and tonight. Maybe one will sneak my way in the morning. A lot of the does have herded up around here too. I have a couple purple top turnip food plots. This is the first year they amounted to anything. They are about the size of tennis balls. The deer have eaten the tops off and are now digging the turnips up. Hoping they last till ML season.

SWEEEET !!! Congratulations 
I'm really hoping to do the same this year my first year with a big bore airrifle!
2017 I did it with the muzzle loader. Took a 9 and a 8 pointer but the air power is so much more gratifying. I still have my combo tag and a doe permit to fill and going to hunt my ass off on my vacation starting tomorrow!

Congrats on the buck! Looks like a neck shot. How far did the deer go after the hit? I've been curious about shot placement with deer and air rifle hunting. With my old .243 I always went with the neck and they were DRT. Nice job and congrats on your harvest!

Got another doe this morning with the .40 Badger. 40 yards with a .220 Mr. Hollowpoint slug. The picture shows the exit wound. Couldn’t see the entrance hole at all. Quartering towards me just a little bit. Ran about 120 yards and dropped in the field next to the lane.
