[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 591406, member: 39764"] Additional 'stupid' wednesday morning..... We went up to the property just south of Big Rapids (Michigan) for an extended doe hunt, you can hunt anterless on private property here until January 1, centerfire, muzzle loader and I think bow (not sure, I don't have one). Anyway... I'm hidden in some scrub pines below a bluff looking across a beaver pond with the scope dialed at 200 yards (for a I hope shot at the opposite bank, steep incline or atop the bluff overlooking the pond) and I hear a rustling in the leaves coming closer and closer and I look behind me and it's a large doe not 4 feet from my spot. It was dead calm do she never winded me. I have this cannon (111 LRH) and no pistol (I usually carry a .44 but for some reason left it at the house...who knows...) Get up real slow and step from the cover to confront her, she bolts and I level the .338 and sight down the barrel, iron sight style and touch one off. I missed but my ears are still ringing today.... If I had my .44, I'd have a doe in the freezer. Seems to be my luck this year. The wrong gun, wrong weather or wrong timing. Had a nice sirloin steak at Applebee's in BR the night before so all isn't lost. Applebees in BR has some 'top heavy' waitresses it seems......:D Always next year..... [/QUOTE]
