    This old codger is 72 and today I went out with a rifle that's twice my age. I've had radiation for cancer a hip replacement and broke my Achilles 14 months ago. From the car the climb to this spot that was sheltered from the strong southerly took 3/4 hour back down 15 minutes .

    While I was dicking around with my phone camera the dog was trying to tell me there was one just over there.

    I watched for another 1/2 hour but no buck showed up they were still feeding when I left, I will have another look on Monday the hunt is more fun than the kill these days.
    Tahr, ANTSMAN, tetawa and 13 others like this.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
