Anyone have any tips on waterfowling at Salamonie Lake or SF? The weather looks like it's going to turn ducky, and I'd like to take a stab at some ducks and geese as they come into season.
I got a call Thanksgiving morning from a relative telling me that a buck had been "acting funny" on their property since daybreak. I got over there at about 10:30 and found the buck pretty easily. He was very much alive (3 hours after the landowner first saw him) but clearly not okay. He...
Something reasonably accurate and in good condition, preferably lightly used, CVA or Thompson or Traditions. Not picky as to caliber--.45 or .50 or .54 all fine. Looking for FTF within 30 to 45 minutes or Fort Wayne or Huntington.

I thought it might be useful if we started collecting our experiences with different calibers and shot placements. I'd ask only for direct experience, starting this year--stuff you've done yourself, whether you took the shot or processed the deer. With enough data, maybe we can get a better...
I shot a decent buck this morning--still working on the recovery. Weird situation--deer reacted in a way I've never seen, and I'm trying to figure out where I hit him.
All shots are with a .44 mag carbine, 240 grain Hornady XTP. First shot was at 30 yards, pretty steep downward angle since I...
High winds today and tomorrow here in NE Indiana. Hopefully that forces those old gray ghosts to hunker down for two days, so they are hungry, thirsty, pent up, and moving all day Saturday.
My wife saw me eating breakfast Saturday morning and said, "What are you doing here? Go get in the woods."
2nd piece of evidence--we had a fat doe in the front yard, and I got my bow and snuck the bathroom window open. Then my 9 year old went running by one of the front windows playing a game...
After the last couple hard winters and the spring flooding, I would have expected deer numbers to be down this fall. But anecdotally, I'm seeing a lot as I drive around and a lot of good sign in the woods. Anyone have thoughts or data on what the population will look like?
Dogs name is Watson. He's been a good dog; been hunting ducks and geese with me for two seasons now. He loves to grab bumpers. He's generally steady until released (although not perfect). He can retrieve triples (on a good day), takes some casting (we're in the middle of working on that)...
Not interested in Glock 21/41, FNP, XD, M&P, etc.--just quality 1911 style double-stack or stack-and-a-half pistols.
PM if you have something along these lines to sell.
Thanks
