America!
I decided to take a doe today for some meat in the freezer. Thought it would be good weather tonight to skin her and let her hang.
Suppressed 6.8 SPCII, 120 grain SST. She dropped on the spot. 20151129_192450.jpg

I got this one on Black Kettle WMA yesterday afternoon. 12 point, main frame 10 with split brow tines. Put a 155 gr A Max (that I loaded) out of my 308 right in the point of his shoulder as he was facing/quartering towards me at around 125-150 yards. He ran a a half circle for maybe 30-40 yards and crashed out. Not sure on weight, figured around 150 or so dressed, plenty enough for the 1/4 mile drag! Just glad to get it done before the crappy weather hit here today-Saturday.


We rough scored him today at around 153, was going to just euro mount him but am starting to reconsider that...

Awesome buck! At least sitting on a cape and skull, give you time to decide. I have seen people wack the head off and later regret not saving the cape.

Funny you should mention that, since I didn't cape this one out! On a positive note, though, the taxidermist I use has extra capes, he had to do that for me last year with a buck that started out at another taxidermist that kinda screwed me over.
