Got to shoot the rifles on Sat. The 30-06 and ML are good to go. The 7-08 might not be ready. The cold-shot was 6" high at 150 yds. but the next two were dead-on. I need to shoot it again to see if it was a flier or is a real problem. The Garand is shooting low so I just need to move the rear sight up and check the zero.

I hung the stands two weeks ago to let the deer get used to them. I still need to wash my clothes and get them ready. Wed. will be here before we know it. I've been watching five around the edges of the pasture about dusk for the last week or two. Looks like two young does, their fawns and a spike. I'm going to hang out and see what develops.
