For the second time this year i have put a buck on the ground. I was sitting a stand i dont typically like to sit in the morning but due to two more hunters being with me i was being cut off in my normal morning stand.
I got situated and hung my slug gun on the gun holder. It was a slow cold morning so we did a little push through a briar patch that has been successful in the past.
The drivers went in around 715 and about 720 a little 3 pointer comes by. Right behind him I notice a weird looking buck that i havent seen before. As he was coming down the hedgerow he got behind a tree so i got ready. After about 10 seconds he didnt pop out the side i had expected and was standing quartering to me at about 30 yards.
I swing around and but the cross hairs on him and squeeze it off. The gun goes off and the buck goes running back towards a hedgerow behind me with his tail down. Right when i saw this i was sure i had hit him and did some fist pumping action.
I get a call from my dad that he sees him standing up and then 2 minutes later I get a call he went down. I wasn't sure his body size or antler size. Matter of fact i thought he was a smaller buck. Well let me say there was absoloutely no ground shrinkage on the deer.
Later in the day we did some more drives and only got 2 more does. This was a little bit of a disappointment after last year after going 3 for 3 with 3 bucks! Nonetheless it was a fun day.
I've never posted pictures before so let me know how i did. Last year we shot a buck that was a lot like this deer antler wise and we though that the deer had got injured but after shooting this deer were thinking genetics?
