Shooting

Donna wanted to shoot her new gun that I got her for Christmas so we went out to do some plinking.  I got her a Rugar SR22 cal. semi-auto.  Its a sweet little shooter. She has been shooting with me for a few years now but today she had her own gun.

I also brought the ole single six, and a Marlin semi-auto rifle.  22's are really alot of fun to shoot.  They are cheap, not loud and do not blow your wifes arm off.

We punched some holes in the target, but better than that we had fun.  Looking forward to many more days shooting with my wife.

The Empty Woods

This is basically what I have been looking at since just after Thankgiving.  Woods that have no deer in them.

I have been caught in a terrible pattern of not seeing deer.  The few that I have seen have been far off, or with tails waving as I walk in and bump them out.  And whats worse is my freezer.  I am dangerously low on venison.  Usually I am stocked full this time of year. This is pathetic.

I can only hope that my luck changes soon on what has been a historically bad season. I have not shot a deer since early October.
