13 yrs old. 20 gauge pumpkin ball slugs with a front bead only pump shotgun on a flat out running field buck going perpendicular to me roughly 100 plus yds. Clean misses the first 2 shots, hit him about 2" behind the ear on the third shot and he did a end over end flip. 100% pure skill! LOL! Not.

That was 40 yrs ago and I can still remember all of it in detail. Man I was excited.

Still in the top 3 of the nicest bucks I've killed.


One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.
