Went to pour myself another cup of coffee at 8:30 this morning and lo and behold, when I looked out the window I see this fella come slinking in between the slough and my trout pond. Grabbed the 204 VLP and laid out on the deck using the bipod. Gave a couple of lip squeaks which got him to turn broadside and stop. At 105 yds away he didn't have a chance. The 35 gr berger being pushed with 26.8 gr of benchmark slammed into his chest. I watched the impact through the scope, 5 wild spins and it was over. This pack of seven dogs are now down to three. Fairly brave coming in at that time of the morning even though he was last years model. The upcoming new born fawns, ducks, and geese will be much happier.
This was my view from the deck. The black arrow shows where he lays.

Hows the duck hunting from your deck? Looks like it would be good too.

I don't do to much duck or goose hunting any more as most of my time in the fall is spent chasing elk and moose with my bow. Pickings would be fairly easy in the fall as the ducks and especially the geese are always flying over the house nice and low into shotgun range.steve wrote:Hows the duck hunting from your deck?

It's not good to leave an empty house when you're chasing moose. I'd be happy to house-sit for you.
You have got to have the lowest mpg/coyote ratio of anyone out there. You're a fortunate man!
