Hunting this season?

I went dove hunting with my pals a while back. I shot nothing
but drank a lot of beer that night. Still no place to hut deer.
Maybe hogs this winter.
How about you?
I did catch a 31 lbs blue last night which interrupted my cigar
time. But worth it.

I went out about a dozen times and seen 14 bucks of which only 2
were mature bucks. A bunch of .5-2.5 year olds. The mature bucks
never presented me with a good shot opportunity. I did shoot one
of the 2.5 year old bucks with my Glock 20 at 21 yards. I will
admit, it was getting warm and late morning, so I fell asleep in
the stand. I woke up to the sound of steps behind me when I see
this little 2.5 year old 8 point walking directly behind my
tree. He walked right through my wind and didn't spook, but he
knew something was up. I knew I wouldn't be able to get my rifle
up and in position without spooking him, so i grabbed my Glock
and aimed for his heart.
I put a good shot on him, as he dropped, jumped up, ran through
the fence and was dragging his front leg as he ran off into the
woods out of my sight. I gave him a little time, got down and
looked for blood. I couldn't find any. Not a single drop of
blood for the 150 yards I seen him travel. I grid searched for a
bit and still couldn't find blood. I thought, maybe I missed and
he just dropped from being spooked and him dragging his leg was
from running through the fence. I heard my buddy shoot on the
other side of the hill early in the afternoon and the 4-wheeler
fire up. I started to get hungry, so I headed back to the house
to see what he got. I walked up and said, that looks exactly
like the buck I shot at. He said, you hit him. He pulled the
bullet right out of his heart. That buck survived for several
hours with a 10 mm Sig Personal Defense Round embedded in his
heart. Crazy tough. Anyways, he already tagged it, so it was
his.
He and I haven't seen a single mature doe all season, bow or
rifle, which is freaking crazy as hell. Nothing but yearlings.
I have caught a ton of crappie and bass.

GF, you never located the deer? I guess no trace of blood. No
meat.

Yeah, I found him when my buddy shot him with the rifle several
hours later. We found my bullet embedded in the buck's heart. He
lived for several hours with a 10 mm bullet in his heart.

Damn bro that is crazy! My uncle is in hospice, he was the best
uncle an outdoorsy kid could have. He took me and my cousin bird
hunting and fishing and he wants me to have his stainless SW
Model 29 with an 8 inch barrel when he passes. Of course this is
a .44 mag. He bought it in the 70s after seeing dirty harry. He
has bad dementia, anyway it would make a helluva close up
hunting pistol I reckon?
I would give up all my guns just to have my uncle back for a
year.
He also took me deer hunting on my one and only trip. You might
remember that story from WCBB.

Badass pistol. I would shoot deer out to 50 yards with that
thing all day long, supported of course. Haha. I am a pretty
good shot with the larger revolvers, better than with a standard
semi-automatic, but anything past 25 yards I would want to shoot
off a tripod or rail to ensure I didn't put a bad shot on them.
I haven't decided what my next pistol purchase will be, XVR .460
or Chiappa Rhino DS6 .357 in Nebula. They are about the same
price. I want the last thing the deer thinks when they look up
and see the Nebula pointed at them is, who the fuck invited
Liberace out here.
