It’s 6:00AM. Shoooting light is at 6:28. I’ve got a 9 point in the area. A nice 9 point. I’m sitting here with my .44 Special and my .45 Colt. Out here you never know what the deer may be packing and one may need 12 shots. I’m also “blessed” with a “few” hogs too. The coyote and occasional bobcat could also come by this morning. My first choice target is the 9 point and close behind in second is a big hog.
I am very fortunate to hunt where I do. I’m in the Arkansas Delta and within one mile of Bayou Bartholomew and about 10-15 miles from the AR River. The dirt is prime ground for growing crops such as corn and soybeans. My land and the adjoining land I lease is all in hardwoods CRP. The trees range in age from 3 to 20 years old. The surrounding land is all agricultural land and typically is planted in soybeans, corn and rice. The deer can grow large here as the food is there with relatively little hunting pressure.
I’ve handgun only hunted for the past 15 years with the exception of 2013. And in 2013 I killed a 150 class whitetail, my biggest to date. Of course it was with a model 70 Winchester in .270......and the deer was at 25 yards. Yes, 25 yards. I’ve left the longguns behind today to cure this problem I had in 2013.
Well, the skyline is getting a little brighter and I’ll begin my “looking” soon. I hope everyone out there has a great day and great hunting.
P.S......did I mention the the nearest Walmart is 15 minutes away in Pine Bluff, AR??? The only Walmart to check you for firearms at the door...,,and they give you one if you don’t have one.....as this city is also know as Crime Bluff!!!
Good day gents!
