This is more of a "statement" post versus a "question" post mainly because I'm pretty psyched. I haven't been in the woods hunting deer in about 8 years because of my injuries at the time and now because of my disabilities there are access issues so I haven't gone because I couldn't even get where I needed to go. Well this past spring I attended a Freedom Alliance turkey hunt sponsored by a hunting club and I was the wounded warrior chosen for a free 1 year membership. I have access to hunt on 5 farms with 1 area specifically for Freedom Alliance and disabled veterans.
I'm heading out as soon as my daughter comes home from pre-school for the 2 hour drive to the lodge and spend 2 days hunting the first full week of the eastern NC firearm season. Since I don't/can't work I am able to hunt mid-week while others are jobbing so I should have the place to myself. I'm hoping to at least see something big since most deer on NC game lands are the size of large dogs...a big change since hunting good sized Connecticut deer before my military days.
I've verified my rifle's zero with my custom loaded hunting ammo (I did up a box of Barnes 168gr. TSX, a box of 155gr. Hornady SST and Remington 165gr. Accutip for rifle and Speer 240gr. Gold Dot & Nosler 240gr. SJHP) for my custom Rem700 build...which is a bit heavy to be hunting with but I'll be in a stand so I don't have to worry about blowing out my back and/or shoulder carrying it around. I also recently picked up a sweeeeeeet Dan Wesson 44 Magnum revolver that came with 2 barrels, a 6" full lugged and ported barrel and an 8" short lugged barrel with a mounted Burris 4x pistol scope.
Anyway I've been rambling long enough, mainly because I'm excited,but I would appreciate any good luck wishes coming my way.
