When you are hamstrung with thousand-yard shots over critter-hiding, rolling ground, a busy schedule and you are committed to testing a new bullet in The Potato Chucker, you have to get creative to close out the season.

Been chasing an elusive buck, passed up a lot of deer and with a bunch of stuff piling up on my To-Do List, had to close out on a doe.

The timber approach was impossible due to the lay of the land {I don't have any tree stands. They muck up the scenery}.

So Junior and I combined our {albeit comedic} engineering skills to figure out how to grab some steaks off the timber edge of one of my fields. Where there's a will...

We slapped this thing together before I went to work yesterday morning and then I slid out early and put it to use in the afternoon. I'm surprised the critters weren't chased away from our laughing as we built this lovely work of art!

Maybe my daughter can use it on hers?

I plotted the shots to be maximum 200 yards {the zero of the load}.
