That's a big doe you killed with that fine rifle. Sometimes they just don't know they're dead.

YIPPEEE !!! Fine doe there Jethro! Looks like your rifle is "in the white".....I have always wanted a new rifle in this condition just to watch it acquire a nice natural patina over the years. :thumbsup:

Fine job, Skychief.

Jethro..Great hunting story!
That's what we call a "box-car" doe. :thumbsup:
Your selectivity paid off.
That rifle looks good on you Too! :v
Good luck on your up coming. hunts

(I even like what you did to get your required orange.) :thumbsup:

I e-mailed Dave at Bell & Company Traders and asked him to custom make that orange cape to meet the legal orange requirements. It is just a cape, no collar, that fastens with one button in front. I like it. :thumbsup:

Jethro,
Good write-up and pictures. That had to be frustrating with those dang turkeys. I am afraid I'd have been throwing everything I could lay my hands on at 'em.

Good Hunt! :thumbsup:

I wanted to throw a lead ball at 'em... Considered throwing a rock but, with my luck, I'd hit one in the head and a DNR cop would show up just then...

Fine job, Skychief.

Yep, I had Roy leave her metal white and new. Like I told him, I'm gonna use this rifle hard, she ain't gonna be a safe queen and she'll age quick enough on her own. Starting to get a little dull already. :thumbsup:
Took her to rondy for a week before I ever took her home to my house. :grin:

I watch 'turkeys' all day long. The police frown on shooting fellow workers tho'. Don't know why????? :surrender:

Nice shot!!!!

Cheers, DonK

[Stumpkiller]

Good job! :applause:

I've passed up on six doe/antlerless so far but I'm thinking the next adult deer that strays within 60 yards is in trouble.

So now, of course, I won't see a hide nor hair of one.

Jethro where can I find a hunter orange cape like yours or did you make it and if so where might I find hunter orange material? Also great story and pictures! Thanks Ed

I e-mailed Dave at Bell & Company Traders and asked him if he does custom orders and would make the cape for me. He was more than happy to oblige.
The Rifleman's Frock I'm wearing in the picture was also made by him and the cape matches exactly. There is just a single button under the chin to hold it around my collar.
Dave makes nice stuff! Decent prices too. I highly recommend Bell & Company. Everything is made to order and it might take a couple months to get your stuff but it is worth the wait. :thumbsup: http://www.bellandcompanytraders.com/
