November 2020 in Hunting #1

I worked a 16 hour 7p-11a shift last night (got held over 4 hours this morning)
Wife's off this week so we could hunt, since I had to work opening weekend. Got to the shooting houses around 2pm, right at 4p heard the silenced 308 "burp"
Wife dropped a big bodied 3pt in its tracks from ~75 yards. Didn't think to take a pic, though when I swap out memory cards tomorrow, it should be on there.

Well done to Mrs Knitepoet

yep, though not much we can do management wise.

About 50 yards inside that woodline you see is the boundary of a hunting club that culls NOTHING
