Deer Hunting - Opening Weekend Double

Спорт

Deer Hunting opening weekend of firearm season. On opening day I didn't see much movement but also not a ton of hunter activity. Mid-morning I scouted around and found a much better looking spot that I set up at on the second morning.

    Very well done. The scouting, the harvest, your composure, the filming and way to just act like you’ve been there before. Great respect to the game itself and the whole overall hunting process you displayed. Not to mention this was on public land.

    It’s great that you’re able to get lots more venison in the freezer. When people hear I’ve taken some deer and express they want some I always tell them to get their winter clothes on and I will take them. No, but hell no. Nearly every single one over the years wants it packaged etc. Ain’t happening. Takes too much $, freezing my butt off, and the work getting it freezer ready. Some think that’s being selfish but when you offer to take someone and they cringe at the thought, well they don’t deserve any consideration of free venison.

    Dang on the wide 360 angle I thought someone was walking out in the marsh without blaze orange after you shot the doe, then the 10 minute later part with the buck came and they were still walking not too far from where they were before and thought boy that is super unsafe. Then thought hmm very odd they barely got anywhere in 10 minutes, looked a little closer on a freeze frame and realized it was a spot on my monitor. Time for some new glasses. 😂🤣 Congrats on the venison. On sharing the venison make sure whomever you share it with is able to provide the registration confirmation number, or name and address or customer ID of the holder of the harvest authorization. In other words leave a slip of paper with them with the confirmation number and/or your DNR customer number they can show if any issues arise.

    Congratulations! I’m just getting into saddle hunting and have a question for you on your camera placement of your main camera. Why did you have it up so high? Or was that the angle of the 360? You should also consider consider getting the tactacam 6.0. It actually is really good for that shot footage. Much better camera than the 5.0 by them. Keep up the good work!

  • @DIYSportsman

    6 ай бұрын

    Thanks for the tip on the Tactacam 6.0. I was trying out having the camera arm just above my tether. It looks really high with the 360 angle but the camera arm base was probably neck level with camera being about the top of my head. With it placed like that you don't need to reach around the tether at all. It's one of the reasons I was able to get back on the camera so quickly after the shot on the buck. But I'm still getting used to it. There was a little glare on the screen as well with it being higher up and rising sun over my shoulder.

    I used two of the Tethrd Fold-n-Go's on a HYS strap. Only one is needed to hold the gun, but they can be useful aides as a rest if shooting to the opposite side of the tree. Pretty much any bow/gun hanger, even the cheap screw in ones if legal, can work.

    It's not terrible. I actually got a bolt lift kit though it was more of a "want to try" than a "need to have". Definitely not as smooth as a Tikka. I also had to grind a little off of the outer edge of the bolt handle so it cleared the scope fully.

It should be quieter up there late season deer hunting. It was so obnoxious with the flocks last weekend grouping & making more noise than ever b4. 😮

I passed on that deer @ 20 feet a year ago. There wasn't any blood. U know why? He had slugs in the wrong jacket pocket. He hit it with #8 birdshot. Didn't realize it until we were back @ the parking lot. I was listening to a leaf blower too close to me over a half mile away but I should have heard a slug going off. I forgot to ask him if he had his bird barrel on the gun, ha haha 😄.

    @DIYSportsman

    30-06. It doesn't have a recoil system, just adjustable length of pull. Most non-adjustable stocks I've shouldered still don't give me a solid cheek weld without additional material. Must just be my facial structure. This stock seemed to be one of the less expensive options to try a stiffer, better fitted aftermarket compared to the cheap plastic stocks that come with the axis. I may still end up going back to a traditional shape and just build the cheek riser accordingly.
