Good Lord blessed my family..
I worked a 24 hour shift and managed to get blown 5 times after getting in the stand at 4am.(maybe i was snoring), after waking up every 10 minutes or so to check the plot he stepped out at 0643 and the m77 mkII 7mag with 140gr sierra hpbt and a max load of retumbo unleashed the gate of hel on this young buck... well being he was only 50 yards away the fast moving bullet exploded on impact and i thought i missed the way he casually walked off the plot.... I gave chase!! I made it to the bordering fire lane and found him cornered in a tall brush pile. That's the reason I "glock", i glock ALL the time. the 40sw crit defense made short work with a heart shot. best deer of my small 18 acre place.
weighed 245
Decided i wanted to bow hunt a stand that i love, but everyone else hates(because they never "see" deer when they hunt it). Well my wife asked if i'd take my youngest niece Kyah along.... Well I said yes, being that her sister killed her 1st doe with me, she wanted to do the same... so i grabbed my 22-250 tc topped with a khales 2x7x32 and we went hunting. after 2 hours this sad daddy came cruising to my tinks drag and bottle hanging in the plot.. Kyah nailed him! he ran through 3 creeks and into a swamp off the mighty pearl. I made her blood trail him, even after i found him.( she did great considering such a small hole in the buck from the 35 grain varmint grenade she hit him with.
weight was 220. score was 126 6/8 would have been a pope and young if i would have got him with my bow. lol
my oldest neice also got another doe that evening when hunting the next stand down.
2 days 2 great bucks and 2 great does. Proud of my peeps!
