I hunt the Southwest part of Mississippi, and that is a shooter all day long in these parts. Well done @marksman13

Four more for the buzzards tonight. Realistically, it’s probably more like 7 or 8 for the buzzards as the video picked up several good “thumps” on pigs that were running and made it to the swamp with a lead injection.

Two more decent sized boars tonight. A third toted bullets into the swamp with him. Saw six pigs total tonight and all were medium to large, lone boars.

Me and the 6 Creed were passing out dirt naps like Mardi Gras beads tonight. Met my goal of killing a pig at 400 yards at night. We’ll go for 500 yards next week. Six pigs shot in total. Three recovered.

We closed the season with only does in the freezer. The grandsons made quick work of several nice fat one during youth weekend and we called it good.
On the buck side, we had half a dozen or so really nice 3yr olds that all made it through the season. They should be gooduns this year....
We were a bit concerned about the one in the front here. He managed to get off into a hog trap just before Christmas and was beat up pretty good before my cousin managed to get him out. This was the first sign of him after that.

My gosh you're getting lots of pigs....you must be in hog heaven?
I don't know where this dude was during deer season, but maybe he'll hang around for awhile.

Thank you, sir. It’s one of my favorite rifles for sure.

I am delighted to report that for the second year in a row, my #1 son called a big Tom in for his daughter. She is a very driven and sharp little girl. She folded the big turkey with her single shot turkey gun.
This was the second weekend of our youth season. She tagged this morning while we were in church.
She called to tell us about her hunt. She ended up telling us that, "every time I kill a turkey, my daddy cries a little".
Ps #1 son was using a mouth call that he made from a kit. He also made one for his brother and myself. Im looking forward to using mine in the morning. (Season opener) wish me luck!

Best of luck in the morning! And, as a single dad with a little princess that loves to go hunting with daddy,
and who did this with her first ever shot with her BB gun (close supervision of course), I can totally say with absolute confidence and certainty that this daddy would “cry a little” as well.
Sweet rifle & cartridge and Faboulous deer! I've sure considered that #1 & 6.5 Swede in past! Well done all way around!
Traveled back to the UK to catch up with the children, grandkids and family and also a few days hunting. A Swedish mate came with me. A all round great weekend with 3 roe bucks, 6 muntjac and 2 fallow between myself, mate and our host. My Swedish mate managed to shoot another gold medal muntjac. The photo is one of two roe bucks I shot.

My turkey season started today. Only hunted a few hours this morning.
I had a nice morning seeing a few geese, four deer, and a bald eagle. Heard one gobbler.
If I fill my tag it will be with the old Western Field 150A 410.

#1 son filled a tag this morning, right behind his house.
Interesting seeing pictures for the other side of the pond.
England is a great place to hunt . Lowland deer stalking , woodland deer stalking, differs greatly from much of mainland Europe. Deer stalking, not talking about Highland stalking is relative new compered to Europe. Up to the 60s fallow and roe deer were often treated as vermin and shot on deer drives using shotguns with often unsuitable cartridges.
When I started shooting roe deer back at the very start of the 70s there were only about a thousand rifles licensed for deer outside the Highlands of Scotland.
Over the years stalking has become more popular. A sport with many participants with all the gear and no idea. Also a tendency for some who want to turn stalking, reloading and dog training into a black art that only a few can possibly master.
The strange thing is that with all the people who now want to shoot deer the fallow and muntjac population is in many areas of Southern England out of control.
My mate in England who was our host for the hunting weekend shoots a very large number of deer a year but there are too few like him who are culling sufficient deer to keep the numbers in check.
There is also the fact that many are only interested in stalking if they can cover their cost. Yes you can sell deer carcasses in the UK.
Sound moderators and thermal spotting scopes are seen as a must have if you want to shoot deer in the UK. This to my mind leads to many never learning field craft. I also think many people who are town based never learn or understand the etiquette of the countryside or the land owners.
Pheasant and too a lesser degree partridges shooting is still a very big shooting sport in the UK.

Heres what I have saved to the laptop, not actually many, but with the wifes cell phone, a small genny and Starlink outside the tent, heres what I got;
Spring is apon us and about 2-3 weeks early.
The wife and I have the 4 year old grandson along, teaching him basic hunting. Wade is in school now, so we took Sabastian with us, His mom, Tinmiaq, is off hunting with her Honey 150 miles north, and not so safe for little ones..
Tinmiaq is in the second picture, with a 39 foot Bowhead her crew caught 7 miles outside of Point Hope off the Flaw Ice.
The last pictures are just me, couple Rabbits, a couple Geese and 4 Caribou.
