Got out yesterday afternoon for a few hours scouting around for black bears and deer. Found lots of bear scat but not a sign of any Bambi. Brought one of my #5's along. 'Twas a gorgeous sunny but cool afternoon up on the mountain across the highway from my place. The lake was smooth as glass.  ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

Not far from this lake the forest did burn heavily (Harrison Lake east & west). We were inundated with smoke for weeks on end but this little piece of paradise got lucky. I'm getting my rain gear ready for another excursion this afternoon. ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

   3rd trip into the woods yeilded this mule deer buck. I must admit I harvested this deer without using a Lee Enfield. The rifle I used was a Thompson Center 30-06 with Vortex Viper scope sighted using 180 grain ammo. The shot was taken at 233 meters in low light/misty early sunrise conditions. He dropped right away and his females weren't too pleased. ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

| Nice deer, great to see there are still areas with Mule deer. Also, I just have to say, that is one big dang dog! Beautiful German Shepherd! |

His name is Gage. He is 3 years old now and loves to go hunting with our crew. My buddy Shane in the photo is his human. He is one fearless dog I can attest to that fact! ------------- Castles made of sand slip into the sea.....eventually |

I remember watching the cars driving back to the Twin Cities, Minn. with the deer tied across the cars. So your pic brings back a few good old days thoughts, Thanks. Enjoy the area. Later 42rocker |
