Almost ready for November

[NMHawken]

Fired off of my sticks, 87 laser ranged yards, .495 Round Ball, .020 patch, wool felt over powder wad, 80gr weighed Swiss FFg. My 1970s TC Hawken with a gently used Green Mountain PRB barrel, lit off by an RWS #11. I have a mule deer tag for November 2-7 here in Southern New Mexico. I will shoot once more before I hunt, the low and left was the first clean bore shot.

Yur a keener. “make meat”

 

[Terry Lightle]

We will be patiently waiting for a story

 

[NMHawken]

Hopefully one with a happy ending. Deer have been sparse last decade or so. Either way time in the woods with rifle in hand is a Happy story.

Shot today from my hunting sticks, two inch three shot group at 50 yards, I feel ready.

It's been a while since I hunted that unit. There are deer there, good luck! Pictures or it didn't happen. You know the drill...

 

[Hermit Tim]

Best of luck. Looks like you're good to go.

Best of luck! Hunting GMU 34 is a privilege on itself Hunted it for elk and was successful but saw a lot of mule deer too! Don’t worry about your 339 friends, more than half will be gone before you really start hunting! LOL. Hope you get a monster!!
