Very nice! Congrats! Shot at 20 feet off the ground while still hunting. Was he really 20 feet off the ground?

Nice one to eat and cull out of the gene pool at the same time!!!
I shot a number of game with the 45 and round balls and finally just didn't like the way it worked and moved up to maxi type conicals and LOVED the way those worked.
But I'm hoping to try a 19 ga round ball in 2 weeks.... I suspect it'll work, just have to keep teh smoothbore shot up close and pray it doesn't misfire like it does now and then...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

I like the "claw" on the ends of the antlers.
I'd rather have a bad day hunting than a good day working!

Way to go! That's a great way to bloody a new smoke pole.

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

I love hunting with my T/C Hawken and patched round balls. Any buck taken at close range while still hunting is a worthy trophy but doubly so with an open sighted sidelock and patched balls. Congratulations !

Seiously...Not every deer is a cull that needs to "removed from the gene pool" Not everybody hunts the feeders and high fences.

Rost, no disrespect but we don't hunt ranches around here. 1 buck tag and some doe tags if you like. Not much to cull like in Texas. Now, talk to the local game managers about culling foreign exchange students...
Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

Seiously...Not every deer is a cull that needs to "removed from the gene pool" Not everybody hunts on your feeders and high fences. but culling is all the rage! gives you some level of esteem above the average hunter, almost like you can talk down to them with your superior knowledge and disdain for inferior animals by your standards. definitely a nice buck! congrats to the OP on taking a fine animal, with a beautiful piece! I too have taken deer with a round ball and patch, it still works! (shoulda been a .50 though )
