Qapla’!

Well, my deer hunting season is done.

And, yes, I used the PTR-91 HKlone….why wouldn’t I? Its accurate, hideously reliable, and powerful enough to knock Bambi into the freezer. To be fair, however, at the distance I shot the deer at I could have used a pistol. It didnt even see me and just kept walking towards me. I let it get within, oh, 20 yards at the most, and dropped the hammer.

Three points per side with a little brow tine. Nice little buck. He’ll be made into steaks, a couple small roasts, and burger. I’m kinda glad that my days of getting up at 6am and wandering through the cold woods are over for the year.

  1. Good choice using the black rifle to hunt with. I think next year I’ll be using the M1A.

    I still haven’t harvested in the three years since I’ve started hunting. Then again, I’m still hunting deer the way I hunted bad guys on patrol. I have a feeling I’m not going to harvest until I find a retarded one or until I finally go out with an experienced hunter.

    Hey! Thats not a ‘black rifle’…its a ‘rifle of color’.

  2. Congrats. It’s funny how a .308 puts deer down just as well out of a semi-auto as it does out of a bolt gun.

    If one is enough to fill the freezer then you need a bigger freezer.

  3. Nice little buck. What kind of load did you use in that ‘rifle of color’?

    Nothing special. Just some fired brass and a Rem. 150 gr. SP.

  4. Eat hardy and pay tribute to the spirit of the dear, then pass the BBQ sauce! LOL Glad you had a safe productive hunt! venison chili sounds good too!
