Ahhh...the sweet smell of success. Just curious how many deer rifles you have bought or sold or traded in search for that elusive buck.

This one was interesting.....didn't have the best shot.....although he was close he was on the move. After having it skinned......looking at the body and the hide couldn't find the entry hole. The bullet exited just below the shoulder on the opposite side and took out the knuckle below the shoulder. He ran 30 yards and died instantly. The taxidermist said maybe I hit an artery that runs near the shoulder. There was no damage to the vitals.....just a lot of blood inside.
Interesting that I couldn't locate the entry hole......anyone ever had this happen.....or she'd some light on this?

I admire your persistence. I know a lot of my buddies still living in PA gave up on hunting a long time ago, my best friend this year, and he shot a doozer two years ago.
Experience is what you get, when you don't get what you want!

I hear a lot of hunters saying this. My experience is the exact opposite I see a lot of deer.....and I am hunting State Game Lands. I don't really have a choice. Hunting out of state isn't in the cards. So I do with what I have at my disposal.

Wow, that's sticking with it.
Truth be told, I'm just as happy these days with just making meat.

I missed a few years hunting in that 20 yrs.....work got in the way.... my dad having Parkinsons.....having no one to hunt with....I won't hunt alone....but I fully intend on going every year. Who knows.....maybe another buck like this will come my way in the future.

Why won't you hunt alone? I'd say 99% of my hunting has been alone.
