My friend and I were turned loose on two tracts of land, one was a full section (square mile) and the other was a 3/4 section. Both had some wheat and the smaller had winter canola as well. Canyons and cover on the larger and basically flat with scrub cover and some trees. We did not end up seeing a lot of deer, no rubs or indication of the rut on the full section but there were some rubs on the 3/4 and my partner briefly saw a shooter chasing a doe there. On Sunday we met up for a quick lunch then we split up on the 3/4 section-I was on the west side looking east into a stand of Chinaberry trees that ran on a slight ridge going north and south. I had just sat down and a big doe walked down the ridge from the north end. I got the rifle ready and watched her and a buck walked down the same trail. He stopped with a decent size tree covering a lot of his vitals-if he followed the doe the next couple of steps would put him on the other side of the ridge. The shot hit a bit forward and a tick low, he jumped and ran back the way he came. He made it about 250yds and piled up under a willow near the creek. .300wm shooting a 208gr Hornady ELD M, a little over 200yds. ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/ouj0cdh4v/IMG_4214.jpg) tried to be a 6x6, broken G2 on the right, broken brow on the left ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/ngrdh22fz/IMG_4194.jpg) saw some spikes.. ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/elqj6p5zj/IMG_4189.jpg) porcupine ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/fo0ppaej3/IMG_4201.jpg) don't do this ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/oj1jzvvmn/IMG_4200.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s33.postimg.org/9abmm5ze7/IMG_4210.jpg)

Dang nice buck. My drahthaar got in a tussle with a porcupine in OK on our quail trip. Kind of cut trip short as he was pretty lame afterwards. Didn't realize they had so many. Anyway, great deer you got there!

Welcome to Oklahoma and congrats on your buck.

Nice deer, congrats
Looks like the 300 did the trick.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....
