[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 868752, member: 39764"] What I refer to as a button buck. I'm adverse to culling one but I'm also painfully aware that the deer population is growing (especially down here, above you Derek) faster than they can be culled. Many wind up as hood decorations and many cause accidents as motorists try to aviod the crash. I put my bikes away before fall because it's downright dangerous to ride in the evening. I'm like a potato (all eyes) driving my car, all the time now, especially now that the crops are coming off. I'm going to be looking for a nice four or six pointer on November 15th. Ocassionally someone bags an 8, but it's a rare commodity around here. We don't get the long range shooting here or up north like is the usual out west. A long shot for me would be 250 with a centerfire on my ground and thats the maximum. It's heavly wooded, all hardwood so open shots are rare. The ground I'm hunting on the 15th with the ML is the same, why my 'go to' rifle is a 308 Savage. It will handle anything around here. A 250 grain SGK in front of H380 is all I need. Mass enough to handle some brush and range wise, plenty. The ML is sending 290 grain saboted Barnes TMX 50 cal with 100 grains of 209 Blackhorn and Federal shotgun primers. I keep hoping that all those quickly purchased doe permits went to experienced, respectful hunters who respect the rights of others and their property and realize they are only tennants on the land. The land really belongs to the animals that live there. We are only guests.... Everyone be safe and respectful this year.... [/QUOTE]
