2024 Hunting Season

[mjcmichigan]

I’ve put three crop damage deer in the freezer… nice to have tenderloin and back strap often… have two more days of crop damage then I have to focus on caregiving while 87 Year Old FIL tries to fill his bear tag in Michigan UP NewBerry Bear Management Unit. … he’s on the far west end of the Seney Wildlife Refuge..the Beech trees than anchored the wildlife are all dead now and it’s a horribly tangled mess of deadfall…he found a trail in and is pretty solid in the woods, just his ticker is in rough shape..and he’s not a nursing home type…will post pictures when it gets filled.

Had a great season this year in Mississippi. Managed to take a 10, and 9 point, also a doe with my trusty 416 rem mag. Also another doe with the S&W model 29. But the best experience was my 7 year old daughter going with me and killing her first deer. That was the true highlight of my season honestly. Now I have to get her a dedicated first deer rifle for next year, because she definitely has the fever now lol. Luckily for her hunt we borrowed one of my brothers AR in 6.5 grendel and a bog pod death grip tripod. I have to admit that tripod was a pain in the butt to carry around, but completely worth it for her being able to shoot accurately 100% on her own with no help for me.

350 legend is pretty nice for young shooters. Max charge is 20-23 grains depending on the powder… mild recoil… plenty of energy to 200… it’s an option.
Would imagine and AR platform might have less recoil…I’ve been shooting an 18” and it’s 1” at 100 with factory ammo…

Mark,
Congratulations on the crop damage deer.
Best of luck to your F-I-L filling his bear tag. There's a lot of bear on the west end of the Seney stretch.
