bkln Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 OK here we go, I will be brief.... the forecast said it will be a shitty day and I said #%@$# that I will hunt anyway.....It was nice and frosty morning and I spooked a turkey and a coyote on the way in..... first stand nothing, second stand nothing, short third nothing and I'm starting to lose hope. Then I go for a walk (as my bud coach recommends) and at the end of it I see big antlers...quick action point and click....I'm not really sure if I got him since it was like 1 second....bang I go. The buck goes 20 yards and stops, I send the re-fresher this time I know I got him....I chill and wait, give him some time to expire. Then I close on him and this boy is big and I mean 180 lbs big. This is my best trophy ever he will hang on my wall proudly..... This is my first opening day buck and I'm sooooo happy I have no words to describe it...I think I need a drink.. :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkln Posted November 24, 2012 Author Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) Congrats man. Neck quartering to shot? Thanks Shawn, yeah he was to my left up the hill and you see an entrance on his left front shoulder and exit through the neck on the other side, the second shot stayed in and I have recovered the slug :-) Massive blood loss, that's why he didn't run far or at all...
