[QUOTE="KSCHEVY, post: 1260241, member: 99072"] And yet again no deer in the freezer, it's been six years now. Public land is almost non existent around here and only one small area allows rifle hunting that I'm aware of. I've never had any luck there and generally resort to the family farm. I've only seen two deer the last two years. A small doe last year and the shot wasn't right, through some timber and the 30-30 was at home. Thursday afternoon I wasn't in the blind ten minutes and this decent body small rack buck comes walking across the corn field. Around 3:00, He was on the far end, a good 250 plus out. With This new vortex I was facing the sun and fighting the glare. Had about a five second window where it could of worked but i waited it out. He started walking towards the hill/tree line out of the line of fire from the sun... Promising! Sum buck made it and as soon as I had him I the reticle he dove in the brush to never be seen again in my eyes.... Sigh. It's been a long frustrating six years and I'm kicking my *** for not sending it when I had the chance. Let's hope lucky year number seven pays off. May have to get a bow to try and dust off the black powder I've never shot. I'm sure I'm not the only one here... [/QUOTE]
