777 will move it for her....

Clearly a hybrid. You can tell by the location of the metatarsal glands. 😄

Heading to 22N tonight. I've got ten days of outdoor bliss ahead of me. Thought I'd just spend tomorrow with last minute scouting and practice.

This is my biggest one and for my hunting partner! We both got it done I spotted a buck 2200 yards out and made the stock. He looked like he was on the property according to. My spotter watched on a high hill. Once I got to within 500 yard. I looked on OnX and he is clearly on State Land. I radioed back to my partner and told him. He said what about the buck bedded down 700 yards to my left. I ranged him and said its more like 900 yards. But looked on OnX and said oh yeah he is on property. He said can you stalk him. It was so flat and not a stupid bush. Nor was I going to take a shot with 5 mph winds at 900. Plus if I got prone he disappears. Only option was to walk strait to him. I got to 450 yards. While bedded down he had no idea I got that close up to him. Once they see you In New Mexcio a 1,000 yards out they bust out of there. No Joke!!! I couldn't go prone. It was a slight hill and grass. But sitting on my knees with the bipod all the way extend at 450 yards my shot punched him and he took 3 steps back wards and fell over. My buddy long story short he missed this buck at 150 yards. Lol! He got to a prone position and at 600 yard and he started to prance off and led him 4ft and center punched him. The best part he dropped like a sack of rocks into the grass and disappeared. Like the earth just swallowed him up

I hear banjos...

If anyone is looking for an awesome affordable long range gun this is it! Let me know if you have any questions. I’m asking $475 *Scope ring and base not included. thanks, Andrew 520-425-0652

Pic of the barrel.

Tell her it’s an endangered species and she has to let it eat her garden. Or, Tell her to move back to LA California.

At least gas is cheap there

Mule deer for sure. White/brown rump, forked antlers, huge ears, you can ride it, it will carry your gear, stubborn. No doubt mule deer.

Aaaaaaack!!!!!

Fabulicious is a few steps better than just good

Just got a great 15 minute drencher here in west Mesa.

He said "Good" not fabulicious

You need member CATFISHKEV!!!! Message him.

Yup, deffinetly a deer....

I was able to trade for RL33. Sorry bud.

Very nice. This is my casket

That's cool, no camo, no trail cam or 800 yard rifle needed.

Thought you guys would appreciate this picture that I found of my grandpa. It was taken 60+ years ago. I am the same age now that he was in this picture. He passed when I was 13, but wish my boys and I could have hunted with him.

Ha! I rode my pony right thru their hillbilly confound compound.

It's a step van

I'm going to throw in my $0.02 on the topic. I used to be an awful glasser. I couldn't ever find squat. I took Duwane Adams glassing class and it really opened my eyes as to what to look for, and really just how to go about it. Ever since, I've started glassing up bedded deer, and overall finding a lot more game. First, I will say you need quality glass, and you need to have your binos setup on a tripod. No tripod, no deer. Period. In the AM you need to be glassing the south/southeast facing slopes. Get in position about 30-45 minutes before first light and be ready. Use a grid pattern and start glassing the hillsides. Once you find a deer, if it's not exactly what you're looking for, move on. You can always come back to it to see what it's doing and where it's going. Once the sun is up and you can feel it starting to warm up, it's time to move. you need to get in a position you can glass the North/Northwest facing slopes. It's really a pain in the butt glassing the north facing slopes with the sun in your face. It's hot, it's difficult, and it's tedious. Remember though that that's where the deer are at that time of day. No doubt about it. Most hunters are unsuccessful because they're glassing areas where there are no deer (south facing slopes in the afternoon). This is because glassing the south facing slopes is easy. There's not much growth and it's just not difficult. While glassing the north facing slopes, use the grid pattern and pick the hillside apart. Look in areas that would be hosting deer such as shadows, shade of trees, etc. Typically deer are not in the open once the sun is up. Think of it this way, God gave the deer a warm winter parka to keep them warm in temperatures into the negatives. If you were wearing a huge winter parka, would you want to be somewhere where the sun is directly hitting you? NO! Same with the deer. Finally, the one thing that was really shocking to me when I first started located deer on the north facing slopes in the afternoon is this: From what I've seen, deer don't bed down for long periods of time, and not all deer are bedded down in the afternoon not moving. When glassing North facing slopes, I'd say the majority of deer I find are bedded down, then will get up and walk to the shade of the next tree, then bed down there for another 15 minutes, then get up and do it again. They'll just walk around in the shade of the trees throughout the day, randomly bedding down, munching on some grass, etc. The one constant I have found is that they are always in the shade. ALWAYS! Finally, it's important that you have the correct angle at the shadows. Try to get straight on with the shadow, have them going from the treetops to directly toward you. As the sun moves throughout the day, adjust to the shadows. This will give you the best opportunity to find the deer in the shadows. Also, one thing I think a little differently than most is this; if you've picked apart a hillside for some time (say you've covered it 2-3 times) and found no deer, you probably won't find them if you try again. The binoculars don't lie. It's best to try a different angle at the same hillside to give you a different perspective, or simply move to a different hill. I hope this helps give you a bit of a different perspective.
