Iowa has a 14 day antlerless season that goes until tomorrow. It’s the only time you can use a high power rifle. I have a safe full because I grew up in WI and just because.

Put together a AR-10 6.5 manbun a few years back. Got a new suppressor on Friday so I tossed a scope back on it and sighted it in yesterday.

Took it down to the farm and shot two giant does with it. These are the first deer I have killed with a gun in years. Forgot how easy it is to shoot them with a rifle. Love hearing the bullet impact with a supressor.

What, no pictures of the deer?! Entrance and exit wounds are appreciated and pictures of anything in between and what bullet was used, Science!
 
Oh man it was 1 degree last night but I could drive right to them. Both shots were text book lung shots but 2-3” high. They were close and shooting down hill so it was fine. I didn’t take pics because it was so cold.

Used these. My son won a shotgun from pheasants forever that he sold and bought a 6.5 it was during Covid and ammo was hard to come by but they had boxes of these stashed that they would sell ya when you bought a gun.

Shoveled early and often, braised a venison bone in shoulder, have two loaves of bread prepped to bake tomorrow morning, sledding with the kids, fire ripping all day, got on the C2 row erg for a power hour, working through a Heineken mini keg all in all pretty solid snow day 1769387671136.jpeg1769387641633.jpeg
 
How was that Episode?
First episode was good, second was even better. We have reports of some escaped audad starting to populate in our county way more Central TX. Kind of hoping those reports are true would love to see/hunt one on our property. 🤣
 
I also watched the first two episodes of American Game whilst working on a spare parts build. Until I ran out of spare parts and Alps.
