Dec 1 hunting

Sorry for the late post. It was hot and humid, but I went to a small tract of land that I have permission to hunt in Douglas County. I set up OTG on a small hardwood lot that bordered a big swamp. Water Oaks were dropping steadily and I jumped deer there on my way in. At 5:05 this doe steps out and makes a B-line for the Water Oaks. I let her tote a 220 grain Cor-Lokt from my 30/06 at 20 yards. Watched her go down-no tracking needed. It's been a slow season for me so this was a true blessing.
Glad to be out there and to be able to put more meat in the freezer View attachment 604798 View attachment 604799 View attachment 604800

Good thing you saw her go down. She woulda been tough to track!Congrats brother!

Thank you sir!
I broke out my heavy-hitting brush gun because that swamp is not a place that I want a deer to go.

My first deer many moons ago fell to a 220 grain Core-Lokt . Those are sho-nuff sledgehammers!

Yes they are. I like what they do to the boiler room.

Managed to stay semi dry, but with the exception of spooking a few that were sleeping in the pine thicket between the road and the WMA property, I didn't see any sign of deer. Oh wait, I did almost step on the gut pile from one I heard shot over there on Sun AM. Getting really frustrated with this season.

I see the problem. Blind was setup on your left.
