    Low light deer hunting

    Basically the main reason why I don't skimp on optical quality: First & last light are very productive here and I have to properly ID the specific type of deer I am shooting. First deer went ok, second I didn't get an ID and third and four went ok.

    How many did you get?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    25'ish on this trip. I use bubbles when I need a more exact direction as I will be navigating some distance. It works.

    Love everything about that video - dog, bubbles, "nose says deer....tail says deer..". Great shooting mate. Love a good LR advocate. Hot barrels.

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Thanks for that .

    The dog is GWP and he isn't mine. He is one of the professional dogs at Stryde Wildlife Management's kennel. When he was younger, he had so much energy I found him difficult to work with (as in I wasn't quick enough to catch his signals, never had a bad word with him). With age he has a tempo that suits me better. It was the same with the old black lab I worked with before that; she was so old and gentle it felt like I could outrun her on the hill.
