Hey "ERK"

I'm NOT trying to 1 up ya, really. This is true also.


This buck was killed in Nov 2017 where I've been hunting since 2012
I hunt on my feet. I had an area in mind to 'begin' still hunting. I was almost where I was going to start. I saw 2 Doe s
and got on my shooting sticks.
This guy was behind them with his nose on the ground. I saw legal antlers so I said.... HEY !
He raised his head and I planted a 7mm 139 HBTSP center NECK.
He EDIT < Disappeared > SO FAST that I thot I missed him. Looked back and he was laying on the ground.

Rifle is custom 98 in 284 Win. It was too much for him. LOL

A little disappointed when I turned him over and saw his left side broken.
