[@ScottJohnson-up2vm]

Watching you reload, I kept thinking, "you need some of those speed loaders"!! We have a few and they really help you reload the gun much more efficiently! I forget who makes them, but they're just double ended tubes to hold a powder charge and a projectile. Pretty useful bit of kit! Great shooting there!!! Well done!!

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh my goodness I’ve got three of them…….. and four hunting sons…….. so the math ain’t mathing!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ryckedavisson3204]

My speed loaders are made by Butler Creek .

[@kenthorsen4558]

Nice follow up... I've seen some hunters that don't. Congratulations providing food for your family is a great honor! I always did and showed my boys how important it is. 👍🙏

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It’s very important to understand what you see when the deer is running away after the shot and especially after it’s had some time……. Only experience can teach it accurately. Sometimes you can’t just “back out and give it time” Which is preached constantly by some.

[@banjohappy]

Good you were able to collect after a bad shot. It happens to the best hunters sometimes and the story doesn't always end well. Kudos to you.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

It pays to be able to read the deer and know what needs to be done.

[@jefferyschirm4103]

Don’t know about deer but when your horses get a little bit extra wooly it’s because they needed a good worming !!

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

[@jakepriest4282]

Have you ever tried power belt bullets? I switched from the sabots to power belts. In my rifle they are more accurate, an much much easier to load. I think the reason is you dont deform the bullet when you load it. Plus alot less plastic fowling the barrel. Just my opion.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

I’ve got some! I’ve been meaning to use them!

[@steveruby2120]

[@bradr2142]

Test that deer for Epizootic Hemorrhagic dis ease. It's a new disease also it can be transferred to cattle. The get it from being by water and insect bites. We had one on of farm here in Minnesota.

Interesting. We have a hair loss problem here in western washington caused by mites or creepy crawlers. The deer pull their fur off and no fur equals no warmth. Hardest on the fawns.

Ive had to go later and later in the season due to the weather being to hot for me since it interferes with my arthritis and breathing.

I shot a big doe last year that had the exact same coat like your deer in the video.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Wow! Any ideas as to why?!

[@snaggletooth14]

@ I have no idea. I hunt in Manchester, Michigan, and I shot an orphaned yearling 3 years ago, in the late season, that also looked just like that. I’m definitely thinking that they have some type of affliction, but other than the weird coat, they both seemed healthy.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

@snaggletooth14 It seems like a good idea to take them out of the herd.

[@snaggletooth14]

@ Yes, I agree. Most of the antlerless deer I see out there (Manchester) are with others, but both of mine were alone.

Reason I got into your channel was because of the ram pump and homesteading you I suppose that's what it's called. I was born in Uganda, grew up in London and been a US citizen right after high school. My father has wanted me to move back home to keep control of family affairs but I've be afraid to lose my luxurious west lifestyle. As I've gotten older and what's been happening in the west I'm actually thinking about moving back there especially if I can work remotely but also start something new. Also my parents have over 300 acres of land, a majority of it under our names(kids) but just wanted to know how I could run a farm successfully.
