Deer season ends today here in the Peoples Republic of Comifornia. Spent the last few days trying to get it done. 1 for 2 with my partner shooting this buck. Can't beat the scenery.

Yesterday evening view for me. No daddy buck around today, just a doe and this year’s triplets
Put this stand up 2 years ago . Only sat in it once. Check in it all straps and cleaned a path and marked it. This one is hard to get to with the creek banks and staying off the deer trails
Nice morning here. Overcast, 65 degrees, and a 15 mph breeze to keep you honest with a 308. Sent 6 before heading for the salt mines...
Thieves and freeloaders...
First true date day in over a year.
Wife is into art so we went to an art thing in KCMO . They showed the paintings on the walls and floor it was interesting. I enjoyed it more than I thought. After we went to Scheels. Then out for sushi.
Made some venison tomahawks on the easy bake oven for breakfast.
And they were incredible.
And they were incredible.
Started to check the crossbow this morning, 3 shots and the string wants to be a two piece.
New one is on and stretching.
So I got out the 300WBY and checked zero .
What's left of first snow in southwest colorado..
Saturday 0800hrs at JTAC.
The car is 300.
Treeline over the fog is just past the 2k berm.
About two minutes after I took this pic the fog was gone.

Having my second cup of coffee while Cherry patrols for thieving bushy tails.

This guy has decided to grace me with his presence, not a monster, but still looks relatively young body wise. Iffin he quacks up, he might end up the freezer
Took the time to check that the whole machine is aligned (it wasn't. 0.0005" over 3.7") and realign it (slightly less than 0.0001" over the same). Then got to dress in the new wheel. Took from 0700 to 1330 to start setting up on my first part.
Yep. Aerospace machinist. 1986 Sheffield grinder last rebuilt 2002. It does straight wheels and crush form grinding wheels. It's replacement, a Studer s41, is being quoted to go along with the s41 we already have. The new one will have diamond form dressers vs the carbide ones we have now. Radiuses on the forms should last in years vs less than 100 partsish.
Internet picture.
The wheel takes on the shape of the roll and transfers to the part. Having taper off makes getting parts in size hard especially when you're running +-0.0002" on some parts. In inconel.
Corn finally harvested across the creek from the others, so, 910 and a 1,030 are now visible 
. Went out this morning to trim around them and repaint. Cold front went through last night and dropped our temperatures 40-50 degrees. I don’t believe I’ve ever run a string trimmer at 25 degrees F

I went to Pack Expo in October. Damn was there some cool shit there. Maybe not as exciting as IMTS, but neat none the less.
I’ve always wanted to automate my reloading process but the cost is insane.
Gamble-Rogers state park, couple weeks ago:
Sorry no pictures. Last night was my first time in a stand in almost 2 years. Had a great 4 point at 15 yards. His base was the size of a 2x2 . Only had the left side. No sign of the right at all. Go back 4 years I had trail camera pictures of I believe the same deer. Same day I had a picture of a buck with just the right side. I have seen the buck with just the right side last year. I’m not sure if this is genetic or not. After passing the one up last night I’m rethinking it. I think I might try for book end bucks , try to get the right only and left only. Should be a fun skull mounts .
Got the Helix mounted to the dash of the sled today.
Bring on the ice!

Quick hike to an icy waterfall with my better half and the dog yesterday, along with a nice sunrise this morning.
Thankful for the holiday break. Left unsupervised, you fellas have a pretty good idea on what’s going on around here ...

Opening day and cold this morning. Hunting a a woodlot that has been row thinned.
D170 John Deere
Cuts are about 1 inch into the tread. Can’t get the deck all the way up. I love mower customers.

First ice!!
Three walleyes in the pail.
Livescope is absolutely insane.
Watched all three come in and hit the rattle spoon.

Sorry, I meant to hit the like emoji ^^^. Surprised you have that much ice already. None here yet. Good luck.
Ice fishing is one thing I really miss about Idaho. Lots of fun and a great way to deal with a cold winter.
We could run 5 rods per person which at times caused a real circus when 2 or 3 were getting bits at the same time. How many rods can you use at a time?

We are limited to two.
Usually running one rod and a tip up in the background.
I know some places allow up to ten.
There’s no way a guy could handle ten lines with a hot bite, but I’d love to give it he’ll trying.
Not sure what was going on at the farm this year. Had a couple older age class bucks earlier in the year showing up on a regular basis but about mid July most buck activity seemed to cease, they just weren’t showing up on the cams. This was for all but a handful of 1.5yr olds.
Work had me tied up tight for all of our early archery season but I was thankful to have the first week of our firearm season off.
Opening morning was a busy one, they were running everywhere in the dark. I could hear bucks grunting in several different directions. Once daylight broke activity slowed down but you’d still see young bucks pushing does around. Had deer around me all morning and that continued to be the case going into the afternoon.
Right around 1 a doe came out behind me and milled around for a bit, her fawn joined her shortly after. They were there for the better part of an hour. Heard a deer walking and assumed it was the doe or fawn so I didn’t pay it much heed. I caught movement about 50yds to my right and saw it was the doe/ fawn. Turned back to the noise and this buck had come out of the thick cover at 15yds behind me. He caught me moving and spun around but only went another 15yds till he stopped to look back……..his last mistake. One 150gr Accubond thru the heart and it was all over.
Hit this tree hard before succumbing.
This was a nice way to break the cherry on the new barrel Shaen put on my .308….

Flying into MSP tonight. I see democrats. Lots and lots of democrats.
1.7” of rain over frozen ground makes painting steel less than pleasant. Hoping to freeze up soon.
Though you are correct......I'd rather see someone not in the know fishing and learning rather than someone bust his balls about shit.
