This was one of my target bucks. Had not seen him since season opened, and thought maybe he'd been killed on a neighbors farm. Saw a bunch of deer this morning, and this one came in behind me in my blind spot and almost got across the field without me seeing him. Had to make a quick shot on him quartering away. 187 yards, dropped in his tracks, Remington 700 American Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor, 120 grain Sierra Prohunter, lungs were mush. Now I have to suffer through the rest of the season, knowing I've used my one buck tag. But, I'll still be out there every day with a coyote rifle.

I'm too old to drag them anymore, and that little tractor has hauled out quite a few deer.

Congrats. Don’t look like a wasted tag for sure

Yep, Marion, nice little town. I have done some business with some of the Amish that live there.
