First buck of the year
Well, no time for fishing, diving, etc lately, so I thought I would go look for a deer since doe season opened Saturday. Got in the stand around 6:30am, and 30 minutes later, had enough light to start scouting the area. About 7:20am, I hear a ruckus to the right of me through the thickest part of where I'm sitting. I can see movement, but can't make out the critters. Then I see antlers It's a decent shooter buck with 3 does. I have a small spot in the growth to shoot through, so I stand up in the deerstand and aim. I see the antlers walk into the scope, so I shoot! BAM......buck down. The .243 had done it's job perfectly with a nice shot to the neck The deer was a smaller 8pt and weighed 172 lbs. Not bad to start the season

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.
