“Nobody hunts with an AR15. It’s just wrong, it’s like hunting with a poodle”
Yet, here we are filling the freezer.

MHO a 5.56 is a tad on the light side for deer, but bullet placement is critical no matter what you shoot, an AR10 7.62 would be a better choice. And as far as the poodle thing, the kid has 3 standard poodles that would drag down an elk if she told them too,, so yeah over all ya done good ! :)

The little dog only weighs ten pounds, but she has the heart of a lion.

Awesome, 556 62g it is!
While I would not hesitate to shoot a deer with a 5.56/.223, I’m using a 450 BushMaster Great Lakes upper on a Springfield Armory Saint Edge lower. The trigger is unbelievably crisp.

I have tagged two does this year and hoping for a third tonight or tomorrow.

The 3PH carryall on the Kubota is much better for bringing home the harvest, but it was dark and cold. She slid along the snow just fine.

These 2 bucks have been hanging around every day since the rut. During the rut the 7 pointer put a licking on the 8 pointer. In the second video there is a lump on his left shoulder. I have seen him run, paw at the ground with the left leg, and jump the fence so I am sure it is not broken. Not sure what the bulge is all about, dislocation maybe? Any thoughts?

It could be filled with green puss due to an infection from dirt entering
an open wound.

I've thought of that and it is possible but I have seen him on camera everyday since October and there has been no visible wound which is why I am puzzled on this. Will be interesting to see what happens as time unfolds. Having 7 cameras out helps keeping an eye on him.

I think a puncture wound from an antler tip might be hard to see.
Keep us posted. It will take time for it to heal or get worse and spread
the infection, if in fact that is the case. It does look severe though to me.

Last Thursday I witnessed a 8pt buck trying to breed a doe.
