| Way Cool Whitetails | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My favorite Fall pastime is searching for and taking my personal favorite animal, the whitetail deer. I hunt for the pleasure of not taking game, just getting out in the woods and enjoying this beautiful time of year. The awesome colors of leaves changing is a great sight to see. The taking of game is just icing on the cake. Just sitting quietly and watching wild animals in their world is an awesome thing. I am the intruder, learning their ways. Watching how they interact with each other as well as with different species. I have seen the rare Florida Panther, in its own environment. I have seen the allusive black bear, just a bit up close and to personal. He decided to see what was at the top of the ladder. It was me, shaking in my boots. I watched a fight that was hard to believe... a bobcat decided it wanted turkey for Thanksgiving. The turkey won, believe it or not. Yes, these are the sights and sounds that keep me comming back, to the real world. |

| My weapon depends on the season I am hunting. Early season I use a compound bow by PSE. I shoot 27" arrows, tipped with NAP 100 gr Spitfires. Great hunting tips. My max range that is comfortable for me is 45 yds. but, I never try to hit a moving animal at that distance. I like my animals 30 or less yards away. From mid-October till mid-January, I prefer the rifle. I have a choice of two that I use, depending on how I want to hunt that day. For posting in thicker cover, where average shot is less than 100 yards, I use a Marlin 336CS in the 30-30 caliber. The shorter overall length is great for tight situations. If I choose to hunt a more open area, I use the Remington 700BDL in the caliber of .270. I feel this is a great weapon. Shooting a 140gr bullet, I can really reach out and touch. I have shot animals 400 and a more yards away. I like this rifle. Muzzle blast is not too bad, and recoil is moderate. This is my personal favorite cartridge. Yes, there are others that may out-perform this round, but the recoils are a bit much for me. |
