Today was the last day of our PA two week regular deer season, buck and doe were concurrent since last Saturday, no Sunday hunting. I hunted mainly for a particular big buck nearby my home. I didn’t see him over the six days I spent in the woods and as far as I know no one took that buck, the word would have passed pretty quickly if so. Over those days I passed up two small but legal bucks, and saw one big spiker and probably 35-40 does. I bought an antlerless license too but didn’t use it – trying to make up for past sins.
I’m posting some cell phone pics taken from one of my stands where a sidehill trail converges with another one on a flat. Two rifles are shown, one is my Model 70 in 300 Win Mag that was born as a 264 Westerner. Now on her second 300 barrel and third stock, she’s been with me since I was a young pup and we've hunted in some good far away places. The other rifle is the familiar Krag sporter I wrote about on another thread. I also hunted with a 348 Model 71 but the cell was on the counter at home that day.
Old schooling it but effective, just a pile of rocks with a cushion that’s been my seat there for many years. Same setup as when I was a kid. Enjoy the view!
