Well after the dove shoot today I went over to my buddys house , cleaned the birds , took a quick shower and then returned to the same farm to try and get a deer or two for the Damage Control Permits !

My buddy smoked a doe around 18:30 with his CZ550 in 375 H&H MAG . He sent me a text message and I told him lets sit it out until dark .

Since I was back in the woods over looking a cornfield I came down a hair before he would come out . And as I walked up the fence inside the woods I saw a doe out in the cornfield I hadn't seen earlier . I had taken along my Ruger #1B 338 WIN MAG and was shooting handloaded Hornady 225SST bullets . I also had along my Ithaca NID 10 gauge loaded with handloaded #3 buck in the right barrel and handloaded 000 buck in the left barrel .

The doe was about 40 yards from the fence so I poked the 338 through the woven wire fence , the deer was facing away from me at a very slight quartering angle . So I aimed on the front edge on the hindquarter and let fly . And at the boom of the gun the deer carried freight !

I was confident I hit it , but the way she ran gave me doubts . So I leaned the rifle and my pack against the fence and eased out into the field with the 10 gauge . There was a strip of semi tall grass going up thru the middle of the uncut part and I saw her go up thru there . I rounded the corner went in about 10-15 yards and she jumped up so I leveled the 10 and let fly with a load of #3 buck at about 35 yards . This time at the boom of the gun she folded . The first shot had gone in behind the diaphragm ranged forward and got the offside lung .







Found a couple of the #3 Buckshot while skinning the deer !

Got deer #'s 11 and 12 this evening . Shot them both with my Ruger #1H in 375 H&H MAG shooting the no longer made Nosler 260 grain Ballistic Tip pushed with 74 grains of RL-15 . Have a 60's era Weaver V7 on top !

Shot the first one at 12 yards and she dropped like a sack of potatoes , I shot the second one at 29 yards and she flopped maybe 5 yards after the shot .

Saturday I think I'll take my Ruger #1B in 270 WIN shooting handloaded 130 grain Nosler BT's and Combined Technology 130's they both have the same powder charge and hit the same POI at 100 yards .

And of course I'll drag along my Ithaca NID 10 gauge just n case !
Sorry but I actually forgot to take pics this evening . I was by myself and was more intrested in geting them home skinned cut up and in the freezer !

This guy has over 1,200 acres !

We've yet to scratch the surface LOL's !

DCP season is over the end of this month however . I hope to get 5 more on his place before the end of the month .

If no rain we're going tomorrow afternoon and I'll take my Ruger #1H in 375 H&H MAG with handloads using the no longer made Nosler 260 grain Ballistic Tip and of course I'll haul along my Ithaca NID 10 gauge !

Well saturday was a "Rain Out" !

Looks like monday will be a 270 WIN day and either my Ithaca 10 gauge with buck or the Kerner 16-16-7x57R drilling loaded with buck and ball .



Oh yeah pictures are not an option for awhile as Photobucket says me account is filled . Starge they told me I was 90% full a week ago and I've deleted 300 pictures from my account and they now say my bandwidth is 100% full . Seems deleting almost half increased the total as I've not added anything since I recieved their email !

For the last 5 years I've had more months to hunt ina calender year then I have that are hunting free !

And thats just for large game species (IE deer , bear , piggies).

Actually if I pursued piggies here in Virginia I could hunt them ALL YEAR in the county adjacent to mine !

By the time I get everything recleaned and put away after hunting season it's about time to get the unblooded ones back out and check the sight in's for the next DCP season !

My best year to date was 20 deer about 8 years ago . I'd like to hit 21 this year for a new personal record as I don't think I have to many more years I'm going to be willing to go at it that hard !
