I ended getting one last deer last week.

Went ice fishing, and all I got was a lousy whitetail.

Federal Fusion factory ammo. I think it’s a proprietary bullet.

I used the .308 version on whitetail, it worked fine. The .22 cal version is marked for varmint on the box, I’m guessing the jacket is exceptionally thin.

Ouch. On the plus side it doesn't look like it damaged the fender much (some set back) or the hood, nor punch a hole thru the rad or condenser. Lucky (for you).

I believe that’s referred to as grilled venison

Himalayan deer. Himalayan in the ditch.

Hope you ate some of it! Bumper/fender/door repair/headlight and clearance light will probably be 1500 to 2000. Expensive venison.

Insurance man says almost 5k.
Body man says he missed some things and it will be more.

Didn't keep any of the deer.
Stupid suicidal deer probably had chronic wasting disease anyway.

Went out antlerless elk hunting a bunch the last month. It makes hunting them a little tougher if ya wanna go for a specific type as I did cause I wanted good young meat so decided I'd only shoot at a yearling cow. I've also only wanted to shoot one from my own land which really limits a fellow with one 1/4 that has elk traffic. On Friday I got the shot I wanted from my land even though the elk was 100 yds out on the neighboring property. 243 barked, elk went down but did require a head shot to make her quit breathing.
Where she quit.


Where she was finished and the crew that helped remove her hide.


A lot of folk set in this old house of mine that I was sitting 400 yds from.


Elk is cut up and will also make about 100 lbs of pepperoni's and fresh sausage shortly.

This should give us ample meat for the winter as the tall dude in the after pic who is my son that lives at home yet doing school from home had shot one of the biggest cow moose in our area[neighbor who loaded her with his tractor said she was the biggest of the eleven he had on his bucket this year].


Now for the best part and a pic to show it, was when the lad had got back to his truck and met me at the approach into the 1/4 where his moose lay.


Trust me when I say I damb near peed myself laughing when I saw the scope bite as he shoots a 243 as well. Frick did he get mad at me for laughing and I told him to get over that as anyone who should happen to see him would laugh too. Sure enough a neighbor and his FIL showed up a couple minutes later and they as well were rolling in mirth. Lucky young pooh never even felt it and after washing couldn't even tell it happened but was a good experience for him.LOL
