They're all yarded up now, so when you see one your likely to see fifteen or even more. Thats thirty eyes and thirty ears you are trying to out wit when they are already at a high state of alertness, after the regular gun season. And such it was last evening when at least ten of them figured something was amiss and held up behind a hemlock grove. Not moving a muscle for fifteen or twenty minutes on high tension is pretty hard on this old man, but after that time I was able to unkink enough to put the sights on this bold little fellow who stepped out into harms way.

I thank him for his sacrifice.

It seems like hours waiting in them conditions don't it.
Lovely rifle, don't get yer beard snagged in the lock, it's on the wrong side!

Congrats I have been trying to score with my 54 Renegade without any success but don't regret the hours i have spent watching Deer just out of range.

Late season gets really tough. Deer are on high alert. Even the "deer of the year" are now educated. Cover for a hunter is at a premium. Every little sound one makes seems amplified. Taking a deer during the late season is truly special. And with a beautiful Robby-built rifle, I presume, even better! Congrats!

This evening I had two yearlings under the feeder by my cabin while I built a fire 30 yards away.

They seemed offended at first but then decided I wasn’t much of a threat and went back to eating. I poked the fire and they would stop and watch me every few minutes.

Great time if the year to be in the Texas woods.

Excellent Robby!!! Congratulations.

I am getting more familiar with the unkinking as the years go by.

Thanks for sharing with us, Skychief.

Congratulations! You got meat in the freezer. I too like your gun.

And to your closing line, " I thank him for his sacrifice. " That's been exactly my sentiments looking down on every magnificent creature that has ever fallen to my rifle. Every one.

It is a .45. Originally it was a .50, but I could not get it to zero and worked with it for over a year trying every thing I know, even asking others for input and still it would not hold a zero. I gave it everything I had and finally called the barrel maker, he swapped it out for me at no charge. So I had to refit the new .45 into an already finished stock, not nearly as simple as fitting one into a blank. I was able to get it done and sighted in just before the season started. It all came together and added a little bit more to the hunt.
Thanks fellows!

Very nice rifle! Congratulations on the deer.

 

[Billy Boy]

Looks like grits to me Robby, good deal. I’m waiting for a very specific deer....must have vision and hearing problems, be clumsy, patient, insanely curious, get my drift here?

 

[wvbuckbuster]

Congratulations. Tuff to fool all them eyes and ears this time of year and did it with a flintlock which sure is pretty. Dan.
