Excited about gun opener

Post by ICDEDTURKES »

I don't get excited about deer hunting anymore, I go with sal to our lease. So long story short dad's gonna sell his place, it's small, 13 acres the right 13 acres if that makes sense on the thick nasty azz riverbottom. This section is nasty deer die of old age little pressure. Ain't about deer it's about nostalgia

Long story short dad don't like Sal and I or anyone for that matter. With him gonna sell I've been telling Sal I want one last opener in the swamp. I know every tree, I have so many memories back there, from breastin birds, parking, walk-in dogs killing ducks, grouse etc Sal and I both killed our first back there.

Dad's blind is very good. He hunted it way different than I would, park 50 yds away, smoke, play radio etc yet most years he'd kill a mature buck more outta perseverance than anything as he hunted every night from October 1 to November 30. Place hasn't seen any activity in two years

Dad's health he hasn't hunted. Sal knew how much it meant to me to have one last opener there. I am shocked she called him, I come out she says talked to your dad, we can hunt it

Cool, good luck. Take a camera for sure. Probably wind up with some pictures that will be worth more than most material possessions you will ever accumulate.

Lol so true. Keeps me out for an extra two minutes


True story, one day were hunting, we had one office chair, actually two but we were only using one she sat on my lap. I'm having a great hunt hear "deer it's a buck" I'm like seriously we roll it up to window with our feet she drops it.. We laughed til we cried

Her old blind was freezing or hot she chose hot she'd sit in her underwear and a tank top. Always wanted call the CO on her for trespassing tell him how to sneak in. Woulda been priceless for both of them.

Yes actually mentioned him a few months ago. Don't want house and buildings just swamp. Ain't worth much it's a swamp. He kinda shrugged me off. Biggest problem is communication if I've talked to him for 2hrs since ma passed that's stretching it. Most my communication is through my one sister who still helps him, other sister is like me.

Maybe I'll approach him again. Could pay cash seeings it's a swamp and would only be 12 or so acres I do gotta stop over and thank him today and dreading it.

So tonight was a special night in swamp. My lil guuurl tracking dog been staying at dads. Guess who sniffed us out so she sat with us. Two favorite girls with me watching Auburn Georgia. Saw two six points first. Then a 2.5 year old came out started working a scrape got in his Hinds started working a licking branch. She's like he's an 8 I'm like shoot that sob. Not knowing if I'll have swamp again didn't care either know most years it got a pass. She shot him head on in chest chest m he did back flip dead right there. Baby guuurl jumped three feet at shot. All in all perfect night. Dad was even excited.


The itty bitty 80 grains Barnes ttsx went from chest past out the butt.

Yeah 243 all we shoot. Those Barnes are pure death outta 243. I've watched a pile between sal and kids using our guns die within eyesight. I've converted all my friends to Barnes
