Hey all, well Friday at noon was our deer gun opener. We hunt on a friends farm for the past 8 years or so. Weather wise it was a very nice day, lower winds and temps in the upper 30's with sun and some clouds. We saw quite a few deer, but opportunities for some good shots were limited. I did manage to bag a smaller one (they always look like a majestic Elk in the scope) at 3:30. While the deer was small, I was happy with the shot I made. It was a running shot at about 100+ yards. So I was happy with that. My son Jim didn't fair well, had a couple shots, but didn't connect.

Saturday was a different story, light rain all day long. Got wet and Jim couldn't buy a shot. I could have shot a least a couple more. They were getting up by me on my side of the tree rows. So.....we'll try and fill Jim's tag next weekend. Fingers crossed for him.

Anyway, here's a couple pics of the weekend.

Me and mine. I was using a 7mm-08 Remington Mountain Rifle with a 2x5 Redfield Wide View Scope



Myself and Jim



Best,

Greg
