Nice start to the '09 Season - Hunting

Post by dolphinatic »

I ended up leaving the house later than I wanted this morning due to a restless 2 year old that only wanted dad. I finally got on the road about 5:45am :x I arrived at the property around 6:35am and made a mad dash for the stand a few hundred yards away. I had just got positioned good in the tree when I spotted a few does across the field walking along the top of the road. I lost view of them due to the thick brush. A few minutes later, a shot off in the distance startled the deer and they ran out into the field. Off to the distance was a nice buck hanging behind. The group gradually made their way to the end of the field and the buck split off and walked my way. He went off into the brush about 40 yards, so I put up the rifle and waited for him to reappear. He did......right in my sights :thumbup: A quick squeeze of the trigger, and he was down :thumbup: The other deer stayed in the field, including what appeared to be a 6 point. I let them walk and decided to get down and inspect the kill.....

Love the kicker pick, Tom! :lol:

On a slightly more serious note, you sure you didn't jump on that deer and strangle it? Don't see an entry shot wound in a single one of those pics and unless my eyes are fooling me you got pics of it from both sides. Don't see blood on the geo where you pulled it in either? :smt017 Either way (shoot it or tackle it), you da' man :thumbup:

That's called a perfectly placed shoulder shot with a 22/250 :thumbup:

You might be a Redneck if you've ever folded down the backseats of your families GEO to haul home your latest deer kill....
Congratulations !
