Henry Rifle Forums

Well, I spent a stupid amount of time chasing deer this season, and although I saw tons, and got within 20 yards of the biggest mule deer I’ve ever seen, as well as some cranker WTs, I didn’t get a shot on a legal buck. Then I decided to trade a useless rifle (.223 which is pointless in my hunting based world) for a crossbow. Game changer apparently, as there have been a ton of bucks wandering through my property, and this afternoon one decided to feed my family. I shot it off my front porch. I was in and out the door a few times and he didn’t bolt, so I guess you don’t have to go far from home to score! It’s great to have an animal for the freezer at the 11th hour. I bought 2 smaller pork tenderloin and a 4 pack of chicken breasts the other day, and it was $42.00 so all the time spent in the woods is covered at least.

Nice one, congrats.
I once shot and killed one from the bedroom window.
Like the Before, and after Pictures.

nicely done ...delighted you were able to put one in the freezer

Well done and congrats. Gotta love that short drag back to camp.

My local taxidermy guy is doing a euro for me. One of the tines was broken off, but he showed me a few mounts he repaired and they look great. He sent me a mock-up with one tine, but it has a bit too much curve (I have a few good photos of this deer from the spring and summer to show what it looked like before.

First draft of repair:

Excellent job! Congratulations.
