Hunting Time.............

[Gunner500]

Well, it's official, I have turned into an old wimp, after years of hunting big bucks, and in those quests noticed many, many times how good at mothering doe deer are, I have grown soft towards them, no less than 8 legal doe deer presented with me a shot using the old buffalo rifle yesterday, every single one with fawns that were born this spring/summer, three sets of twins in the mix.
I wont shoot mom this close to winter, don't figure the little ones would survive it, I looked hard for an old barren in the withers doe to no avail, I did bleed the old 45-110 on a coyote at less than 20 yards, I saw hair fly from the big 513gr round nose hitting him a bit farther back in the ribs, he started walking at the shot.
All in all it was a hell of a fun day hunting with and carrying that old Sharps Buffalo rifle, maybe next time.
