Amen. That’s two that have been killed right around the house. The first one was an old boar that looked like a Hampshire. He got to coming in the yard and turned over the garbage dumpster. Jr sat up inside one night and shot him through the kitchen window about 1 am. Drug him off the next morning. Where he lay for the night, the grass was killed and didn’t grow back for several months. He was pretty rank.

Was watching a harvested a small field of milo yesterday evening. Had deer start filtering in about 5. At least 10 does and a couple of spikes. Was hoping a good buck would show in the twilight of the day. About 545 4 does suddenly went on full alert. I am thinking this might be big boy coming in.

Suddenly those 4 does high tailed it, then every other deer in field took off.

A sounder of hogs came in and ruined my hunt. But one old sow want be bothering anyone any more.

I took her to Red's Cafe in Leary, GA for fried chicken, mashed taters & gravy, fried okra and some fried cornbread. Southern gourmet prepared by some down home country soul sisters. Wife said it was the best anniversary lunch she had ever had.

Took a doe this morning. The farmer's helper wanted one to eat.

A big old freezer queen namny.

Fodderwing is filling the freezer! I've got about 3 weeks left to try and get one. Not looking too good right now.

 

[Fodderwing]

Freezer is officially full now. Another crop eater removed. The farmer told me to shoot a dozen. I told him I did not want to clean that many.

But I would rather shoot them and see that they are utilized versus depradation permits used to thin them out.

Congrats on another one! Very jealous. Haven't seen one in a month during daylight. I know you've mentioned it before, but what rifle is that?

I have posted quite a bit about my Ruger M77 270, but I changed things up a bit this trip.

The rifle pictured above is a Browning X bolt in .308 Winchester. Leupold 3.5x10x50 scope. I installed a Timney trigger a while back and decided to see how it worked on something other than paper. 2 shots fired. 2 deer down.

This area of GA has such a late rut, we see deer all season.

I was in a lease in middle GA from 2016 through 2019 and you had better get your deer before December 1 or you probably would not get one.

This lease is the best hunting I have ever had access to.
