Sitting all day does pay off. Nice job, that is a beaut. This is My 4th buck off of this piece we bought. Killed one at daylight 2 years ago w my rifle and the 2 years before that a buck at 1:30 and another at 1:40 364 days apart, both archery deer. Saw 10 deer between 11:30 and noon when I killed him. I am a fan but it can also be very boring. This is only my second time sitting this stand, hunted it opener last year and saw 9 bucks but only 4 does that day. It is at the very edge of a bedding area and can be a bit tight at times. Last year had a nice 7 and a doe within 50 yards from daylight until about 2 when she finally spied me.

Beautiful buck, proof that it pays to be in the woods when others are back in camp eating lunch and napping. Deer move around midday too, not just at first light and dusk.

Shot him w my old BDL 6mm loaded with a 95 grain Partition on top of a good dose of IMR-4350. The shot was about 25 yards and he went about 60 yards after the shot. Hit him a bit high in lungs, was trying to hit high shoulder for an instant kill but he wouldn't stop and I was squeezing a bit too hard I guess. Blood at point of impact. I bet there was blood blown 10' behind where he was standing. Hell of a trail although it wasn't needed as I saw him fall. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/yNNnM4yS/IMG-20181110-115505873-HDR.jpg)

Exit. Higher than entry even though deer was shot from an elevated stand. Bullets do funny things when striking bone. Centered ribs on entry and exit. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/brfPw4kY/IMG-20181110-163956559.jpg)

Nice!
Missouri seems to produce a lot of nice bucks.

Real good buck!! I’ve never shot a 6mm or a 243, but I’ve loaded a bunch of 243’s for grandkids. I’ve watched them kill a lot of deer and pigs with them. The 243 kills just as well as my cannons.

That’s a nice buck. What county do you hunt? That buck reeks of north central Missouri if I had to try and guess
