I was getting my gear ready at Noon for an afternoon sit. I heard what sounded like deer blowing. I turned around and this buck and another were running does about 75-100 yards away. I decided he was a shooter and steadied the smoke pole. I squeezed the trigger while aiming appropriately for a quartering always shot (offside shoulder) . The shot felt good. When the smoke cleared , all I saw was a doe and she bolted in about 5 seconds. I couldn’t see anything .

It was a sunny day and I finally picked up movement. He went right down and his horns were glistening in the sun moving around. I reloaded and waited. Pretty soon , I headed toward the deer making a wide circle and ready to shoot again. I got up on him and he was alive. Already reloaded, I finished him off.

What are you using for powder?

The reason I ask is blackhorn 209 really has much less cloud after shooting I find it a very nice benefit

Great buck! Always nice to get them when there is still light enough to do the work under sunshine.

Triple seven pellets

I used that for years and works great my hunting partner encouraged me to use 209 and when I ran out if finally did and there are a few things I like about the 209 the,biggest is clarity after shot

But the pellets are convient to use 209 you have to measure

Just a thought

Congrats, several bucks chasing here in West Tn, no big ones though. I've been hunting several places, it should get good here in about a week.
