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.

2 Jack Mountain Bucks I killed and 2 Back Creek Mountain does my 9 and 12 year olds killed. 12 year old missed opportunities on 2 8pt bucks this year.

That's a good buck anywhere---Bob

Limited time and prospects, so shot the first deer I saw on the Kansas opener this morning.

Kimber .30-06 with 165 Partition at maybe 15 yards...

Always enjoy seeing the youth That is some good family success and always enjoy seeing the youth involved. Congrats.

I see you applied "He who hesitates is lost". Nice deer, congrats.

Spectacular wood on that Kimber!

Thank you. Putting my kids on deer is the highlight of my year, especially the smaller much more impatient kid lol.

NICE!! Glad it worked for you on limited time. Doesn't always come out that way.
I'd shoot that one with no problem.


Congrats

Jerry

Alright! I'd have shot that too.

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.

That's a good looking Fwt , jwall got one sorta like it, it has very pretty piece of fiddleback on it. 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

Zone 9 CT buck

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

Saaaaright ! Good looking Buck

Congrats

Congrats Jerry! I shot 120 BT's out of my Swede also. They're a pretty tough bullet despite what some might say

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.

Three times take it as a sign, it was meant to be.

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.
