Largest I ever saw was 3/4 that size at best, most were 2/3 that size.
Carefull in spring Turkey season they will call up right in your face.

It would be a good time to head up with that call and try to get one.
There is no doubt about that. I've Predator called for many years. Use to be a bit fanatical about it. Knowing that Cats "normally" take up to an hour to commit, I cringe at how many Cougars, Bobcats, n Bears were in my wheelhouse and never even knew it. I'm a year and a half away from 60, and I've only seen 2 Cougar in my life, but I'm certain that's because we didn't have a bunch of them like now. Bears n Cats got hunted HARD, both by sportsman and professional hunters. All bets are off now. We're seeing numbers off the charts now. And then here come the fucking Wolves. That's not gonna go over real good though.
So it'd be a moose trying to make elk noises? That'd be confusing to see.
Hopefully he’s sleeping well in a hotel tonight. He better empty the tank tomorrow. State XC meet tomorrow. Me and the the Misses leave at 0 dark thirty for the 3 hour drive.
Still is in Fort Dodge. They run on a golf course north of the city.
Well, I got that mixed up.
I probably went to both places each year for different activities.
Plus it was a long time ago.......?

@oneshot86 You still wanna come up and walk around in our Forrest? LMFAO ?
yes yes yes
Broke in the Vudoo yesterday. Burnt through a can of SK mag. Going back out tomorrow but lots of vertical stringing. Harris is suspect but so is the sd/es of rimfire rounds .. the ones I sorted by weight / Rim thickness seemed to do better but I was still fucking up with uneven loading
Went to JTAC ranch today to watch a bit of the tactical games match they had going on.
This stage is self explanatory. 4 trips back and forth with descending weight to move.
This stage involved a big assed water jug.
Of you zoom in behind her you can see some of the berms in the distance.
They go all the way to 2000yds.
Opening to the public in the next couple of months.

And now for your viewing pleasure, my view from last night......
I didn’t have much time last night to do anything more than “like” this. With that being said, this picture is extremely cool! Enjoy these times Moose. Neat stuff.
I try to take in every moment I can with her. She is a big time daddy’s girl so we do a lot of stuff together. We have lots of fun. In December we will be welcoming our second daughter into the world. Absolutely can not wait.
Hey 1j04 here is another monster buck killed.
Buddy found this today out elk hunting with his dad. He said he pulled it out from the ferns and there were cat track all over around it. We need to do something about these bastards up here. I have never herd of or seen this much cat sign.

It was awfully pretty when I came out of the woods on my way home this evening.
Gawd Dammit !!!! They're being seen and heard all over the damn place now. Living proof right there that they don't just take the sick, lame, and lazy, AND fawns. They are killing machines. That really pisses me off !!!
Buddy down by Madison took a nice little 10 point today 
My view is bleak.
Woke my wife up @0502.....by the clock on the stove. I thought her alarm didn't go off. Damn smartphones.
So I woke her up 43 minutes early. It was kinda entertaining watching her rush to get ready for work.....till she discovered she had plenty of time.

They are killing machine but still not as bad as the wolves in Idaho or Montana. It would be nice if Wdfw would allow dogs back in to hunt these damn things.
That’s a 5x5 or a 4 point with eye guards not a ten pointer ?
Funny how we all count point different.
Here we would call it a 4 point. The little eyebrow tines don't get counted.
We do count elk like that though. 4x5 5x6 6x6
It is weird. Maybe out west our cocks are bigger so we dont need to compensate for anything.

Used to be west of the Missouri you counted 1 side, east counted both. Maybe its a ego thing.
Roads are shit so I took the time to do some dry firing drills. Anybody that's interested i got an easy guide to make "to scale" target sheets via Excell or similar program.
I thought it was because west of the Mississippi they couldn’t count that high so they only counted the one side ?
Got a start on the leaves anyway.....
Red Maple is looking spectacular.......
Now for some Buffalo Trace and chicken kebabs....

You deer guys....
4 point! Eight point! 4x4, 2x4, 3x8,1x6....who gives a fuck, all just dick measuring. The only thing important is how much meat is on him.

Another for down.
And a little territory marker
And a rare sight. The coyotes have decimated their numbers.

I’ve never tried measuring their dicks. Really isn’t my style...
Hate to break it to you, but housecats/feral are the number one "decimator" of quail.
we have only so many fingers and toes, we’re forced to count in base two.......
Now THAT is a really cool photo. I was that Dad, I would keep that photo close to my heart for a very long time. Very neat photo!
Cash is sitting in the deer blind with Jamie’s mom this evening. His first year. It’s still only bow season so they’re just getting into the swing of being in a blind together and moving around with a rifle. And shooting squirrels and waiting for the nice grey fox ?.
He sends me this pic. The boy is beyond stoked to take his first deer this year!!!

We're seeing a lot more deer in South West Ohio this year. In fact the most bucks I've ever seen in one season. Coyotes seem to be fewer.......

Part of my weekend. Took the kids sledding. And they made a snowman with some old dad help.
2 werent sure about wearing goggles sledding without a ski helmet, so elected to wear that too. Goofy kids.....
We were out there for 2.5 hours. My shoulder is still a little sore from all the snowballs I threw at those turds.
It was a sopping wet mess as the snow had stopped by Weds AM and it was 50F while we were out there.

Poured on Sunday. So we did some reading...
Make sure that little monkey learns about a 1911 early as well........
glocks and ARs are good tools.
But not nearly as cool as 1911s, old model 70s, cool SxS shotguns, lever guns, and single action revolvers.

Thanks for the offer!!!
