Nope I didn’t kill anything with a Parker today but I had a Grade 1 10 gauge 2 frame with factory 26” barrels up the tree with me along with my little Mannlicher Schoenauer MC in 6.5x54 MS . Had a four point walk up to about twenty five yards of me and when I started walking away I let him have it and flip that was at 07:05 AM . Sat there a bit longer and a doe angled up behind me so I let her have it at about forty five yards . Shot both with my handloads but killed the buck with a Nosler 140 grain Ballistic Tip and the doe with a Nosler 140 grain AccBond . That makes six deer I’ve killed with that rifle and each one using a different 140 grain bullet . All with the same sight in .

I had three tags two buck and a doe tag . It appears I’m down to a buck tag . Brought along my 6.5-06 and my suppressed 260 . The 6.5-06 is lighter so it’ll get the nod for the remainder I think . Probably not drags shotgun along now

I have been thinning the herd as well. This guy came by early yesterday and ran off 4 does so I let him have it. Still no signs of a big deer here this year. EHD has taken its toll, evidenced by the lack of shooting as well. I keep hoping a traveler will come through but the odds are long. Probably turn to stocking the freezer after the holidays.

Well the winds blowing like heck today and the forecast says rain all day . Game plan has changed ! I’m gonna get just about everything loaded today then Wednesday morning homeward bound hopefully by 8 AM . It’s 3 1/2 hours back over the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge mountains as well as being the day before Gobble Bird Day so the sooner Wednesday I get started the better .

Just put on "My Home's Across the Blue Ridge Mountains" by the Carter family and you'll be home before you know it!
