Spoken like a true dog man!

We don't use dogs for any big game animal here, except for pigs some places; it's illegal in my state and most others in the USA to use them on deer. I wish we could.

The obvious follow up question is was it oil or did he wipe carefully? :o

LOL...CLICK!

I used a rifle with a set trigger to shoot my first cape buffalo. The PH almost schidt his shorts when he heard the set "click".

This is an interesting thread with some excellent...

We have far fewer deer, and they're in Wide Open spaces, but they know how to use cover. A lot of stalks can cover miles, just to find you passed them as they appear 1,000 yards behind and going like...

LOL...I understand the frustration. We saw these when scouting before the season.

On the hoof I would guess 240 pounds. He was a prime 4 year old buck.

I had my favorite, fresh deer liver, premium bacon, and onions for dinner. I'm 75 now, and it's been the traditional first...

Owen's buddy, Nolan, got a deer tag in a hard to hunt area of N Central Nevada. My grandson had a little local knowledge about the area, but not a lot. They went to the rugged Desatoya mountains and...

I love all grouse, and I don't mind one bit that spruce can taste like spruce, and that sage hen can taste like sage.

I'm still s sharptail virgin at 75 and was going to have my cherry broken this...

Here he is with Owen after they got a very hard earned central NV Dusky Grouse ( one of the two varieties of Blue Grouse and a prize)

Sagehen hunting with my grandson is sacred.

LMAO! :)

That dog doesn't know down from up, but he is staunch on point...a good thing.

The young ones we fry like chicken, make pan gravy and serve with mashed potatoes and red wine as beverage. The old birds get slow roasted, often with shallots, sour cream, mushrooms, salt n pepper,...

That they are! Here in my arid desert we have some good populations along several small rivers where there is good cover and a lot of cottonwoods. I have a spot just three miles from my house. After...

Sage hen, North America's biggest grouse, have declined precipitously. With our six year drought they have crashed in many traditional places, and West Nile Virus and big mining have been big...

You'll make it, no problem.

Just hunt a lot and learn to be the better liar. ;)

A Happy belated Birthday to you, also, my friend! :thumbsup:

Well, I just hit the 3/4 of a century mark and struck out in my home state of Nevada's big game tag drawings...zip...nada.

So, I bought some non-resident Montana doe whitetail tags, 4 of them in...

That and mourning doves were all that was open at the time. I leave the doves alone anymore and love seeing them return every year.

It opened Saturday, and we got five this weekend. The limit is two/day and four in possession after the opener.

They're a big grouse! :o

I must admit I'm envious. Those two animals were on my bucket list for years. Now I can't afford a hunt and have the time. Funny how that worked. ;)

I really enjoyed your post and seeing the...

Beautiful fish and streams!!

I can't handle a fly rod anymore and have to drag hardware behind boats now.

These cutthroats were caught at Pyramid Lake NV and range from 8 pounds to 14. There is...

I still have a few 30-06 Silvertips from about 50 years ago. Geezo I'm getting old...

I also have a box of some later 30-30 Silvertips. In 30-30 the Power-Points perform about the same.
...

Funny you asked...

I had one in 20ga 3" and 270Win with a 1.5-6 Zeiss about ten years ago, a Greifelt. It had been a 16ga gun someone made modern barrels for, and whoever did it was a master. I...

The Core-Lokt ammo became popular back in the day, because the bullets held together better than the usual cup-n-core bullets of the day. Winchester tried to counter with their Silvertip ammo, but is...

BEAUTIFUL Dog! Rates a Two-Cool, IMO.
