Congratulations everyone! !!
Dang 7stw, that's a long poke (for where I hunt). Nice shooting.
Holy cow there are some nice deer being killed. Way to go guys girls and kids.
Congrats to everyone on some great deer! Love to see the youngsters out knocking em down too! I headed out to the east Logan County farm this morning after a very long...cold...boring day yesterday during which I never saw a single deer. Here is more proof that it only takes one day and one hunt to get you back on track. This morning I got settled in a ground blind about 6:00 am, at 7:05, while I was just starting to pay attention I notice movement off to my right about 60 yards out, I see antlers, I see body, I see more antlers, its a shooter, I go into kill mode and he walks out about 55 yards in front of me, too easy really, I put it on him and shoot.....wait about 30 minutes, go out and look for blood, its overcast and cant really see much so I ease into the timber about 45 yards, a deer, a big buck jumps up out of its bed, my heart sinks, thinking I just bumped my wounded deer, I back out and wait an hour, its a little lighter now, Im thinking no way I just wounded this deer, I head back out to look. I find a good spot of blood..then another, and another and I know that I scored.....my buck was in a different direction than the one I spooked, I found him after a 50 yard blood trail, piled up and dead. Remington 788 in .308, I love that riflel 178pounds, a main frame 6x6 with stickers kickers and junk, a 9x7 with 16 scoreable points when all said and done. It was a good morning! Good luck to all.
What a great buck! Your right, one day can make a heck of a difference. You just proved it.
Sgtmojo67 your buddy got a great deer. I love those chocolate racks.
