2026 Hunting Season

A couple for the pot from the weekend. The rifle shot was from a 260rem at 190 yards with the 120nbt, match made in heaven. Straight into a rising sun, one of the more difficult shots I have made because it was blinding. The archery fallow was the darndest thing. I stalked up on three of them, got barked at twice but they couldn’t work out what I was. I ended up taking the shot at 52 yards lined up on the black fallow in the mob. On release of the arrow, the menil one takes a couple of steps and cops the arrow in the back of head, exiting out the left eye. Pole axed on the spot. Never had that happen before. The wind was miserable for hunting, so light and fickle.

Blessed with lots of meat.
