Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Birth of a deer camp

Deer were finally moving Monday morning in 172. Got this 6-½ pointer at 10:00, about 20 minutes after a pursued doe had come through 8-10 feet in front of me. My first since 2020, and glad to get it. Shot distance was maybe 10 feet. I was sitting on the ground, and he came close to running me over while following the path of the doe. Brown blur in the scope set to 4x. I'm going to visit Beetle My Bones this morning, and give him the trophy treatment. He'll be a good story to tell for years to come.
