When I shot, he bolted directly towards my house! LOL Funny that he dropped ~100 yards from my house!! Had dinner and just dragged him in! Thought I better have a celebratory shot of Tequila before I start skinning! Nice, that looks like a good solid 2.6 year old. He definitely would have been a shooter for me this year, even if it was on opening day. Congrats and you really deserved it after all that persistence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhunterED Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Decided to take my last half day of vacation today with the snow sticking and more coming. Got to my stand and the neighbors where making all kinds of noise behind me so I decided to move and go to a ground blind I had set up and not sat in yet on the edge of some thick pines and the hardwoods. With about 15 minutes of legal light I hear a stick snap and look and see a deer working through the pines. I put the binoculars up and as soon as I could see it was a buck I reached for the gun and he vanishes. I'm searching hard to find him and figure he's gone when up to my right I hear something and there he is 75 yards away and looking away from me. I got the crosshairs on him took a breath and squeezed the trigger. The deer bolts and now I'm thinking how did I miss there's no f'ing way I missed. I get out of the blind to go look and there's blood then more blood then alot of blood and there he was 30 yes away. The shot took the bottom of his heart and and one lung. I'm glad I stuck it out like everyone has said it can all change in an instant. 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I confirmed bone on his head, that was good enough and I touched it off!! The mood I was in, I didn't know or care if he was a big spike!
