bargain buck

[Edge]

Helped some friends out with their hunt so missed much of my own. Hauled gear and water in, and a mule that had been abandoned on the trail a month earlier, joined us.

Made it over to my gmu with 3 days left. First morning, climbed a mesa and saw good sign. At noon got a shot at a nice buck but much brush did bless him.

Next morning me and Mike went back up the mesa and glassed it good. 30 minutes later a deer appears on the opposite end of the mesa and slooooooowly browsed towards us. Guess he didn't see us two ninjas in black cowboy hats.

At about 300 yards, we had given up on seeing a bigger buck and this spike was about to jump off the mesas edge so I thought I would help him down with 158 grains of reloads I've had lying around since the mid 1960s.

The old Gamemaster meatpole is about 60 years old and nobody has messed with that Weaver 1.5 X 4 in 50 years.

Ok so I'm one cheap sob. Ate leftover pizza and complained about my used boots from Goodwill. But got er done for about $50.

Afterwards, Mike treated me to a great roast and a nice trail ride. Oh, and thanks for demonstrating the gutless method.

That gutless method is the bomb. Used it this year on my muley.
