The last one I watched, he put a pack and some water bottles on a German Shepard. The dog settled down instantly. The ears even laid back. The dog had a job.

My 9 year old son got it done Friday morning. He put a 40 yard shot on this guy with my crossbow. Deer went about 75 yards and fell over.
That will be some good eating.
I believe you are correct! Got it quartered out today and backstraps are cut and in the freezer. Inner tenderloins are marinating in the fridge for dinner tomorrow with some fried potatoes.
Excellent
Do You butterfly those backstraps? A little trick my butcher friend turned me on to.

Looks mighty tasty!
I have in the past. I usually just cut them as a steak about an inch thick. Really good wrapped in bacon too!!

So, that's how you hunt...
I bought a second hand set of Redding .223 reloading dies and found there is also a .22-250 Redding resizing/depriming die in the box! If you load for .22-250 and can use this die, please PM me and we can get something figured out.

Anybody have some guidance for a guy that is new to eyeglasses?
A set of transitions lenses appeared last summer. I hate that I need them!!! Absolutely useless in the rain and in conjunction with any other optics. Binoculars/range finder/rifle scopes. They require much practice in the woods and on hills too.
How do you hunt / shoot with your changing eye sight?

What do you mean by transition lenses? Do you mean like bifocals or the lenses that turn dark when you’re out in the sun? I’ve worn glasses since my early 20s and yeah, they’re paying to use with binoculars, but they’re not a big deal as far as using a rifle, scope or spotting scope. The key is getting the frames fit so that you are looking through the center of the lens in whatever position you were shooting. when I’m shooting prone in Competition, I have a set of Knoblocs, which are fully adjustable for the position of the lens, but I just wear my regular glasses when I’m in the deer stand and make it work.

They are like trifocals with no lines. I read from the bottom and the focal length changes as you look up towards the top of the lens. So I pret-near fall going down stairs and I’ve been wearing my hat low to force myself to hunt from the tops; cuz I am used to looking out over the tops of my reading glasses. I haven’t figured out how to shoot with them!!
I've literally turned mine upside down when I work over my head, just out of frustration. Likewise with front sight post acquisition.... But I really try to not become dependent on special things for range time. Odds are, you're not getting into something while on an actual shooting range

If I’m ONLY sighting a rifle or harvesting something, this modified reading lense helps me focus on the target and I can still see a sharp reticle. No help for handguns or actually seeing game before I get to shoot it!!
For those above who are dealing with bifocals/trifocals, your optometrist can make a set of lenses to help with this. I was told they are called Mechanics Lenses, because they have the bifocal area at the bottom, regular vision in the middle, then another bifocal area at the top of the lens. Think about a tech working on a car on the hoist overhead needing to see detail. This is a nifty solution for those of us whose eyes are a bit challenged anymore.

Agreed all points on the optometrist helping you. Tell your eye doc what you want the glasses for and he/she can set you up. As most know I am a sponsored competitive shooter. My eyesight has deteriorated to the point of bifocals etc. not a big deal Told the doc how I wanted to use the glasses and he made me a set that work just fine. I call them my Mr magoo glasses! Spent all day today with a couple no neck SWAT deputies and one of them brought their wife. Worked on bounding and room clearing for six hours. Great day!

I thought that’s what you meant. I thought they call them progressive lenses. I have a pair and have never tried to use them to shoot. I got them because I’m near sighted and have to remove my glasses to read which was a pain at work. But they were so sensitive to head position I was getting a headache or almost seasick from just small movement. I use a standard distance script but now it is really getting harder to see pistol sights. When discussing with my optometrist he suggested using normal distance prescription on left weak eye and nothing in right. Theoretically you can see the sights and your brain supperposes the target using the left eye but have to keep both open. It gives some people a headache but I know someone it does work for. I haven’t tried it yet. Can do it with glasses or contacts.
