BLR and Old Lucky with Eight Pointer, Today

[Lastmohecken]

Well, it's been very windy, and I didn't even go hunting yesterday, but this afternoon the wind laid down a little, and it was nice and sunny and about 60 degrees this afternoon, and I just had a feeling that if I went, I might get lucky.

Last weekend I traded for this very nice second generation Colt 357 Peacemaker and it shoots so good, I almost decided to just take it and nothing else, but in the end I decided to carry the Colt for good luck, and rely on my time proven BLR 308 for my primary weapon, and I am glad I did, because the shot required ended up needing to be fast and accurate, or take no shot at all.

The BLR got the job done, but think I am going to name the Colt "OLD LUCKY" because as I was getting ready to go hunting, this afternoon, my wife saw me putting my gun belt and holster on with the Colt in it, and asked me why I was taking the revolver, as I seldom pack a pistol and a rifle for a 2 hour hunt, and I told her it was for luck, I just had a feeling it would be lucky for me, today, and it seems that it did change my luck.

I did take a nice doe a couple of weeks ago, but I had blown a couple of chances at taking a buck, this year, and my usual stand, while being a good spot over the years, seems to get burnt out pretty easy, so I had left the area alone for a few days in hopes that the hunting might get better, and I would see more deer on stand. I think maybe that was a good plan.

That's a good looking Arkansaw buck, good meat for this winter. I saw a nice buck behind the house this morning before we left for church, I would like a big doe but I'll take a buck if he comes back.

Thanks, I was tempted to miss church this morning, myself, but since I missed last Sunday, I decided to go to church instead. I am more of an afternoon hunter, anyway.

Good Luck on that doe or buck.

Yep, more often and not, that's the way it goes for me, too.

Very nice! Looks like a healthy fellow -- some good eating.

Went looking for a lady elk today, but I didn't even have track stew: the few tracks I saw were made a week ago when ground was muddy from a little rain. Which means I get to go again!

[BenT]

Can't go wrong with the BLR.

Congrats, Great buck!

Congrats there Lastmohecken. Love to see those BLRs in action.

[Blackhawk]

Good looking guns and food.

Lastmohecken - Congratulations! Fine rifle and really nice looking buck. Wish I had a few that size hanging around. Bucks are scarce on my little place. Use to see many really good ones here.

Does are the only meat I see here since my pastures and woods became home to a sizable herd of meat goats, ...along with several Anatolian Shepherd livestock guardian dogs. No longer have the all the goats and dogs, just a half dozen goats and one dog now. Don't really need the dog as much, but he's such a dandy animal he'll be here as long as I am.

By the way, where are you in NWA?

I live about 20 miles east of the Springdale, Fayetteville area.

Well heck, we're pert near neighbors. I live just south, 15 minutes or so from the Fayetteville square, a little north of West Fork off US 71. We ought to get together, have a cup of coffee and talk guns. Now that I'm single, my time's my own.

Oh Lordy, that's a nice rack. Congratulations ! ----6

Well, we might just do that, We would probably find some people we know in common. It would probably have to be after the first of the year, as I have so much going on, right now with all of the work I have to get done, I am still a working stiff and we have several big jobs leading up to and during the Holiday shutdowns. I will be glad when it's over.

Lets try to do that after the first of the year. You may have to remind me as I get involved with what needs doing around and forget most everything a week or two out. Well, truth be told, I really don't have that much to do now with almost all of the stock gone, but it's a good excuse if I forget something. Looking forward to it and good luck to you getting all the jobs out ahead of you completed. It could be worse, I suppose, if no jobs were scheduled with nothing needed completing!

Good job. It's a very nice deer!
