Tongue in cheek subject line, my weak attempt at wit. I took my last scheduled whitetail hunt yesterday and traveled down to Encino Ranch between Refugio and Sinton at the gateway to the famed brush country. I shot this nice 6.5 year old buck at around 7:30 a.m. on 12/21/12, the last day of the Mayan calendar, with my Anderson/Christman built .260. A more beautiful day for the end-of-the-world one could not have asked for... sunny, brisk a touch of frost and the bucks coming to rattling horns. A nice buck and great outing made it a fitting day for the last one of eternity... even if it was a huge Mayan practical joke!  On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | ||

Nice buck/rifle/boots and hunting location. I too spent my supposed last day on earth doing what I enjoy most... hunting. I enjoyed a little plantation style upland bird hunting (pheasant, quail, and chukar) with my new 20 gauge side-by-side. Safari James USMC DRSS | |||

Todd, thanks, I would guess him at upper 30's low 40's? Short on his 1's and 4's. Thanks again to all for the nice comments...
