She kilt Ol' Twinkletoe.... That's pretty cool or fugged up, not sure which. Nice buck! Yeah, one of the two. Hey, Huntsman, did that cause the buck to limp, or hobble, or anything?

I have had a good year. Killed an 8 point and a doe with the muzzleloader. And a doe and a 6 point with a rifle. Have 1 doe tag left plan on shooting one next weekend. Been seeing 8 to 10 deer everytime I sit a stand. Only really big buck I saw was too far during ML season. I am tagged out on bucks. I don't need any more meat for this year but one of my neighbors asked me to shoot a deer for him. I probably will.

I got this one on 11/23/2020 in Alabama. 17 3/4” inside spread, 22” main beams. For Alabama, this is a good buck and I’m blessed to have gotten him. Thank you Lord for sending him my way! I shot him with a TC Venture 30-06, topped with a Leupold 3-9x50 VX2. Great setup, and it’s a tack-driver. That's a good buck anywhere---Bob

JUST A Doe I've been seeing many more bucks than Does. Problem is no bucks very big. This AM a small buck was chasing this Doe and he was smaller than she is. They made a loop out of brush into brush and she came out and I stopped her. She was headed across the road where I can't hunt. I like CNS, spine shots. M 70, 6.5X55 with 120 N Ballistic Tip, 160 yds. I didn't think to take a pic of the rifle w/ the deer and I was using my Shooting Sticks. Never go w/o them. Great performance by the bullet. I'm sold. I hunted another 2 hours but MR.BIG didn't show. Jerry

Shot deer with 120 speers and 129 gr SP il hornady bullets. It was the Creedmoor before the time of the present one. At any rate he will eat good congrats. MB

Thanks M B. It's the Second 70 FTWT I've had. This one is staying put. I've killed deer - bucks & does with it but it's been a few years. Those were with WW 140 s that came in the deal. The bullets were ACTUALLY Horn 139 Interlocks. I shot a couple in a dirt pile and you could see the interlock ring. This is only the 2nd deer I've shot with 120 N Ballistic Tips. Both bullets did great! Thanks Again Jerry

this was the third time this 2YO 6 point cull came by me. Passed him opening morning and again the day after Thanksgiving. Tonight after 2 weeks of not seeing anything bigger, he made the mistake of coming by me a third time. I'm only human after all. Now I'm certain the monsters will show up tomorrow morning.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

No pictures but while cheesy was shooting his buck this morning, I shot a doe 10 miles west of him. Used my Marlin 336 bored out to 38-55 with home cast 10 Bhn Accurate 38-250B at 1450 fps. That big flat point does a number on them at 20 yards, think it was actually more damage than cheesy's 165 Partition at 2850 and 15 yards. The hole in the far shoulder would nearly accept a tennis ball.
