Very good deer, and with open sights! Better eyes than I have.
Still waiting for a nice one with the 1931 Model G...
Passed on a big 8 point this year with the Model G in my lap...rattled him in...let him go... Two minutes later I'm saying to myself...
Shezz...you dumb@$$ That was him! Never saw another big one the rest of the season!
Texas hunts...so usually a 75 yard shot or so...doable with open sights. All neck shots... That seems to go well...
I shot a deer early and it's a good thing I did cause I never saw another one to shoot.

Never let a deer walk on the FIRST day that you would shoot on the LAST day!!!!!!!!!!
I made the same mistake this year. A lesson I will not forget. You go so many years getting one that you forget what it feels like to come up empty. No backstraps, no jerky, no fun.
A friend has a saying. " Never pass on a good shot for a better shot that you may never get."
I think hunters are born optomists.lol.For me it's been a matter of not wanting to end my hunting season too soon.Always thinking there's lots of time left lol.My buddy goaded me into shooting a 2 point this year and it's a good thing I did because he ended up being the last legal deer I saw last year.
I'm more of a meat hunter anyways but I'm still always thinking what if a big one steps out after I pull the trigger.
