After a couple close calls and a lot of work, finally got it done on the game land December 30th. My biggest buck ever, and my first with the 6.5 Grendel.

Thank you for the compliment. To be honest, while I did work hard, I was back there looking for a group of does I'd seen. Him walking out was dumb luck.That's a nice buck anywhere in NC. Doing that on the game lands is even more special. You must've put in a lot of work. Congratulations!

What is the pigsticker you have in your hand?
Hunting big water divers out of layout boats is my favorite way to duck hunt.
Bear and Son Bowie. 7.5 inch blade, overall length is right at 12 inches. I am short, so about as long a knife as I can carry in my hip boots and still kneel down. Friend carries a 9" blade, but I find it to be a little too much knife.What is the pigsticker you have in your hand?
That is really cool, have duck hunted all my life and never done the big water divers. Looks like a good day.
I need to get up with you and come shoot one.@Chdamn
This could be yours for the cost of a bullet.

I went hunting. Deer hunting. Late season, I had a hog suddenly run in front of me. Boom! Hog down.
There are many processors local. Few do hogs. This being a Sunday, I finally found one open 75 miles away.
Cost? Let's start adding.
License - $50
Two 150 mile round trips - $60 gasoline
Processors bill - $112
Total - $222 (Dressed weight 119 lbs., yield 29 lbs. of sausage, several small pork chops and one small ham.)
Driving back, almost home, passing Ingles I see the sign. Special - Pork Chops $1.98/lb.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong. š¤
Enjoy some for me. I get migraines eating pork š¢ I used to love bacon and ribs. Havenāt had pork bacon in 7 yearsMy son in law shot this one last night.
