If you hunt, and you have pics, post them here! I for one go out this weekend in search of the ever-elusive IL White Tail Deer. I hope to bag a couple. If I do, I will post them here.

Pics of the 3 Ducks I shot on Saturday October 15 2005
A Drake Ringneck and 2 Hen Redheads.
Saw literally hundreds of ducks on the lake I was hunting with two friends.
The dismal Waterfowl Reports in Minnesota are not true, at least on the lake that we hunt. I was 1 Duck short of my limit. The 3 of us shot 11 Ducks total.
6 Ringnecks
3 Redheads
2 Mallards

2 I shot within 10 seconds of each other 3 shots from my 870 with the Rifle Slug barrel and Federal Barnes Xpander Sabot slugs. The deer were at a full sprint quartering towards me after they got kicked out of a thicket during a drive we were doing. Shot at less than 15 yards.

More Deer that our group shot a 8 point basket buck, a 7 point high tine buck and a 5 point buck and a large mature doe that had a great amount of fat on her, almost 2 inches thick around the abdomen when we field dressed her.

Good thread

Sweet I just got back from a trip to Ft Benning. This was my first time ever hunting and man was I excited. It was crossbow/bow only and was set up literally right on an Ambush training lane. We first went in the morning and discovered the pack had cleaned out two plots, so after an hour and a half we called it quits and decided to come back at sunset. I am in a tree stand and the suns going down fast, my friend was on the ground spotting for me and let me know the pack was coming from the rear but I could not see them. Well damn if the sun didnt go down faster and right as I could barely see through the scope the pack made it to within 15 meters there must have been 25 of them all in a pack taking their sweet time getting into the kill zone. I have to say they were damn quite and I would have never known they were to the side of me if I was looking forward. By this time I am looking through the scope and cant see anything so I aim for a large group. Luckily just a bit more sun came through the trees and I aimed for the center boar. Snap and bang and then a thump I got him. Well now the sun is down and for about 2hrs we are tracking this boars blood and lost the trail several times and the trail went all over it was crazy. after about 100meters easily we find the boar laying in a thicket on a knoll....but there's a lot more blood now still going. We shine my light about 3 meters in front to a small creek and hot damn another one. Turns out since I aimed for a group the arrow hit the first one in the shoulders went through and hit the second one in the gut hind quarters. Two with one arrow. They were small and did not have any tusks for me to keep but for a first hunting trip awesome. Both were processed and are now in my freezer in all about 50 pounds of meat. By the way the processor Daphines in Columbus was awsome and were kind enough to hurry my stuff overnight for no extra charge. No if I could only go hunting in Wisconson next weekend since I will be there.

Shot this buck year before last with a 12 gauge at 20 yards from the ground...

Shot this doe last season from the ground at 5 yards with a 20 gauge slug.

I took this 5 point with a smooth-bore 870 with Federal slugs. This buck was on a ridge about 60 yards out, between a couple of trees. He took about 4 steps before rolling down the hill into a shallow creek.

PS: Sorry about the blood.

Where you using the new Tru Ball Rifled slugs from Federal?

I have heard excellent reviews about them.
