Thanks ! Mannlicher Schoenauer carbines are another of my afflictions ! I have then in 243 , 6.5x54 , 270 , 7x57 , 308 , 06 and 8x56 MS .

Well it’s 12/16/20 and we have until 1/2/21 to kill deer . It’s looking like Brutus just might not get the job done this season . My ambition to go out and climb a tree has diminished drastically . Much nicer sleeping in recently !

same here but I got till jan 31 to take deer....charlie

We have to the end of year and things don't look good.

Weather said snow today . More like sleet and freezing rain . Ten years ago I’d been out in the middle of it , NOT TODAY !

I’ll certainly not be out in the early AM just came in from taking the four legged people out and the trees were poppin and cracking . Might go out tommorrow afternoon we’ll see otherwise this entire week might be a bust for deer and I’ll head to WVA Saturday for the 3 P’s (pigeons , pheasents and partridges).:whistle:

And no Brutus will not be attending in WVA .

I attended a friends surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration this past Saturday . This is the same guy I hunt a day or two each year at the end of the VA deer season . Hopefully we’ll be able to do it this year , perhaps I’ll make some sorta venison dish and or Pheasent dish for the midday meal .

Went out this afternoon for the first time this week . Got settled by 14:30 legal shooting is over about 17:20 . I betcha out of the almost three hours I slept 60-90 minutes :rotf:
