Update on my season. Today was the last day for me to hunt as the Special 5-day Antlerless Only Season ends tomorrow. I actually saw 3-Doe today but couldn't get a clear shot and that's how it goes sometimes. Anyway, I did hunt 11-days this season, I'm grateful that I could. Time to put away...

Dr Mike, I totally agree! Truck Driver, Exactly! That's what I've been experiencing right there. Don

Looks as if this Wed. and Thursday I will get back out there. Anything is possible. I enjoy being out hunting, the experiences along the way are good therapy for the mind and soul. It's why we call it hunting and not shooting! Don

This particular Deer Season has been very different for me. To start off 2018 here in Tennessee had done nothing but RAIN it seems at least 4-days per week, continuing that pattern into the hunting season with windy conditions. Secondly I'm a member of a 1400 acre hunting lease that has NO...

Haven't tried it yet. Just interested in results if anyone has any to share. Don

Thanks Scotty!

Scotty, That's impressive shooting with the 200 Hornady! What was your load and powder used? Don

Congrats on your success. Great looking buck too!! Love the 30-06 with the 165 BT load, it is a proven killer. Don

Well.......After hunting from ladder tree stands for 30+ years this same thing happened to me just a week ago. I've been kicking myself in the tail since it happened AND it was a really nice buck, a lot nicer than the one I got later that day. The good thing here is SAFETY FIRST!!I can always...

Great post and write up Scotty. Congrats on getting it done. The tent collapse is funny, happened at our camp one year 10-miles in wilderness. I agree it sure makes good memories. Blessings, Don

No pics taken on this deer to share. I'm still out there hunting so maybe later. But the story on this one is......... 70 yard shot with 35 Whelen, 225 Partition, double lung shot, exit broke the far side due to angle from tree stand. Shot was taken on top of the ridge, he ran over the ridge and...

Thanks for the replies. I forgot about the 200 AB. Has anyone here got some real experience taking deer with it, can share results etc. Your load data with it too? Truck Driver, Did I see someone on here getting 2800+ fps with the 200 AB? Thanks Don

Is anyone here using the Hornady 200 grain bullets in their 35 Whelen for Deer? Curious about the load and results. It would be nice for Nosler to consider a 200 grainer in the Partition :roll: 8) Thanks, Don

Update, I was able to get an 8-Point buck this morning with the 35-Whelen. Sweet!! Got some venison for the table. 8) Don

Thanks for sharing your story. Our family deer camp was very similar to yours. The farting and snoring got REAL at our camp too! :lol: Same old deer stories re-told of years past never got old. Laughed till we cried at a lot of them. How I miss that old camp. Mom and Dad sold it long ago. Don

Dr Mike, I was raised that ANY Deer you get is a trophy regardless of it's size, period. We celebrated any success in our family deer camp no matter what. Harvesting a doe is a big deal to me and I take great pride in placing the one shot kill, best can! My family loves venison. There are a...

My season starts tomorrow. 8) I haven't seen the quality buck on my cams, as in years past, this year. Also noticed there are not any acorns this year either for some reason. We normally have a bumper crop in our area. The rut seems to be running late here as well. Just starting to see scrapes...

35 Whelen, That's a good load you have there. I see it put the smack down on that nice buck and at 285 yards, it's a winner!! I may give that powder a try this spring when I get back to the range. Don

Thanks for the replies. I'm letting it as is for now till the hunt season is over. It shoots ok for now but I'm not satisfied with it. Will re-torque in the off season. Don

I've read mixed opinions on this subject, not sure what to believe. Can anyone here give me the straight on this? My gun is a 30-06 Rem 700 factory wood stock, bedded and floated with pillars. Thanks Don
