Hunt Day 16 - Last Evening - Sunday 20 DEC

Alex and I left the house before 4 pm.  It has warmed up to 49 degrees today.  What?  Well the winds came along with the temperature increase.  25 mph gusts.

I dropped Alex off at Vice's S end and he went to over-watch Pete's Buck.  I parked on Marshall and walked the entire Neal property line.

We saw nothing.  Not even a squirrel.

We called it a night at 5:45 pm.  We returned to the house and ate a dinner of elk stew.  In between hunts today, I chopped veggies and pressure cooked some elk and turned it all into a stew.

Nick, Shelby, Dave, Missy, Emily, Kathy, Alex, Dad and I all ate on it - and there is still about 1/2 a pot left.  Great food to warm back up with and an awesome way to end the season for 2015.

Well, archery is still in until 03 JAN 2016.  However, the weather usually does not cooperate enough to allow for that.  Maybe we will get out, but it's doubtful.

Rabbit, squirrel, and goose are still in season.  Plenty to do.

It was another awesome deer season - they always are.  Each hunt is a gift, as you never know when it will be your last.  I savored them all.  Lots of stories to tell and a bit of meat in the freezer.  Awesome to be able to hunt with my family (kids, kids-in-law, cousin, father, uncle) and dear friends who are like family.  The Good Lord has blessed me with more than I deserve, and for that I am truly thankful.

Cleaning Winchester SX3 / SX4 Shotguns

Image
The Winchester SX4 is my Go To shotgun for everything - clays, doves, ducks, geese, pheasants, whatever.  It is an awesome firearm.  The drawback?  There are multiple moving parts and a few of them like to collect carbon.  And this carbon sticks as if it were put on those parts with super glue! Specifically, the magazine tube and the gas piston are the main carbon collectors.  Those parts come out more black than silver & gold. The inner components of an SX3 / SX4 with highlights where carbon will form So what is my trick for cleaning those bits?  I drop the gas piston into my Hornady sonic cleaner.  Inside the cleaner I put in about a cup of Hornady's One Shot Sonic Clean Solution for gun parts, add some DI water, a couple squirts of Dawn liquid dish soap, and then top it off with a dash or two of the citrus version of Dr. Bronner's pure castile liquid soap.  I have found that the citrus Dr. Bronner's is awesome at removing grease and oil.  All of that bakes in the son

Winchester SX4 Trigger Assembly Update

Image
First, you need to read the post immediately before this one to understand why I had to take my Winchester SX4 shotgun apart - all the way apart - specifically the trigger assembly. Second, my bad.  I had neglected to clean the gun after returning from last October's pheasant trip.  I had about one bale of grass seed inside that gun, which in the end, may have kept the #8 pellet from getting out on its own.  Shame. Finally, I did not give up.  I watched four different YouTube videos on how to disassemble and reassemble the trigger group.  Sadly, no one did the SX4, only the previous version, the SX3.  Close enough.  Why did it take 4 videos?  Because no one explained HOW the damn sear goes back in.  Everyone either ASSUMED we all know how OR in two cases, the reassembly process was out of the camera frame.  Aggravating! The key, and this is more for me to remember, was on the fourth video, the author said, "The sear kinda slides down into a channel in the housing."  Bam.

Determine Sex of Deer from Tracks

Image
It IS possible to determine from a set of tracks whether the deer you are tracking is a doe (female) or a buck (male).  And, it's actually pretty simple if you know a few facts about deer. First, you have to know what a deer track looks like.  Deer leave a track that looks like the outline of a heart. Next, you have to know the direction of travel.  Deer are moving toward the "pointy" end of the heart.  So in the above example, the deer is traveling toward the top of this post, or up. Here is an actual photo of deer tracks in the wild so you can get a better idea.  Again, this deer is traveling up, or towards the top of this page.  (It is also clear that this deer was STANDING, not walking - well clear enough to me.  Read on to find out why I know that). Sometimes if the ground is soft or if the deer is traveling really fast (jumping), the track left will show the deer's dew claws at the rear of the direction traveling, like so: The two little "
