I was able to get my wife out on Friday after Turkey day. We were supposed to be puching brush for my brother, but this guy got in the way, and was too in love to be bothered by us! Most wive's were shopping on Black Friday - we were hunting together! We made it Big Buck day! This is her biggest to date. My brother connected on his best later in the morning, a big 4x4 typical. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/566/medium/TraciBuck.jpg) I love whitetail hunting in November. We had a full on blizard before and after these pics, including 40 mph winds, freezing rain, snow... 15 degree temp drop - way fun! Regards, Shortside

She shoot my Ruger 6mm Rem with a re-worked stock. Slim, awesome little rifle. 100 grain noslers do the trick. He had a fatal attraction to a doe, and therein began the end. She jumped that fence and topped to see what we were doing, he did the same, and bang!
He has a really big body, as do most of the deer from this area. He has great mass, and a really pretty rack. We are both pretty happy with him.
