[QUOTE="Glockisgood17, post: 4167235, member: 51800"] I do, whenever I feel up to it. Growing up and learning how to hunt around Tahlequah was a whole different story in the 60’s/70’s! The deer population was nothing at all like it is today. It was mostly small game, quail, rabbit etc. Family owned several cattle ranches, we had lots of Corps land and Camp Gruber to hunt on, but the deer population was slim back then. No feeders, or trail cameras, heated shoot houses or any of the comforts of now. Its was mostly still hunting, with an occasional sit on game trails or a water source. A salt block might be placed by that was about it. Now due to age, disability etc it’s just hard to do anymore but I will if I can. This 8 pt wasn’t by far the biggest I have ever taken, but it was a kill while still hunting with a relic of a Marlin lever rifle with open sights in .444 caliber. I have lost track of the number of deer that has been taken with that rifle. It was good to just grab it and take off into the woods like days past and remember what it was like. Good luck to anyone trying for fresh venison, the tenderloins were had for dinner the same night it was killed last week. Just some garlic and butter with fried taters and some greens… Regards, [/QUOTE]
