2019 Nebraska Deer

Post by Cofisher » Tue Nov 05, 2019 12:51 pm

My son, bless him, has set us up on private land next to the Loup River. His term, 'easy pickings'. I got a doe permit, with a bonus doe.

Hoping to come away with a couple. One for each of us to put in the freezer.

I will be shooting my BBSC 357 with a Sig Romeo red dot. And, as always, a Skinner peep underneath for backup. He will carry a Remington 700 chambered in 243. He gets the long shot, I get the close in.

We make a good team. Tho I expect to do most of the butchering.

Wish us luck. And all of you be safe out there.

Will post results. Hoping for a group pic, my boy, me, and two deer.

Update. My son insists on a 'good ' scope. Probably a 3x9. I go along to get along. He hated my 1.5-4x32. Lol

Did you have that scope on the 243 CoFisher? I bought one of those Sig Romeo's to try out I like it would buy another one. Good luck on the hunt hope you get a couple.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Lol. Nothing wrong with the smaller scope. He just is sure I will do better with the big one. Heck, he could be right.

As for the Romeo, I think it would cover any shot I'd take. We will see.

I like red dots and would not be afraid at all to put one on a hunting rifle.

I have seasons enough to be trying the red dot later. The pasture we are setting up in is tame enough to drive. I plan to be back for the late season. It is very helpful to be able to drive to a downed deer. Getting too old for dragging.

I've hunted with a red dot sight on our Redhawk 44 Mag for a long, long time .... I've never used one on a rifle and wouldn't be comfortable doing so at ranges over 50 or so yards .... as to getting tooooo old for dragging deer out of the woods, I reached that point many years back
