Managed to shoot this guy Sunday morning after having a mishap Saturday morning (gun was jammed from a cleaning patch stuck in the barrel with a nice stag at 30 yards). It was so cold my boots were frozen to the stand. I was scared to move when I saw him because I didn't want the stand making a noise when my boots broke free. Here he was a few days before.

Nice stag bart! Cool you've got him on the trail camera too.
Had a guy in my hunt club a few years back that had a "cleaning patch" stuck in his shotgun....
Found out it was his wife that was pissed at him...
Sure glad the barrel didn't mushroom out and potentially hurt you like his did.

Congrats that is a nice one, LOTS of height! Love the little one's hat: you should wear it for good luck! (we have a tradition of wearing foolish hats while deer hunting: I'd post a pic of my wife wearing hers yesterday when she killed her buck, but she'd likely gut me!!!)

Frank I couldn't get the slide to go all the way forward on my Rem 7600. It was a nightmare scenario. I pulling the trigger and the gun wouldn't go off.

Dave, that IS Bart's hat! Told me he wears it walking to his stand so the deer don't know what he is.
Just the backyard Bart?! What's the matter, you getting too old to lift your game to the porchrail?!

What's the matter, you getting too old to lift your game to the porchrail?! The porch is mostly enclosed now. If my Mom had caught me putting the deer up there, You might be looking at a pic of me with my tongue hanging out. The kids wanted to ride the deer. It was all I could do to keep them from getting their church clothes bloody.
