This is the first deer I have killed on my new place. I bought the old overgrown farm in March and have worked to put in food plots and some habitat improvements. I have mostly does on game cameras and one decent young 10 point. I said I would kill the first deer to come in range this season. During archery season I had 2 different does that stayed just out of range. This morning was opening day of primative arms season. At about 8 am this buck was coming up a creek bottom and presented a shot. On other hunts I probably would have let him walk, but I am out of meat in the freezer and I wanted to kill a deer this morning.




Wolf 50 caliber. Leupold 3.5x10 VXIII, 90 grains of Blackhorn with a 295 grain Powerbelt. The shot was about 75 yards down a steep bank and the deer was hard quartering away. High shoulder shot and exited the base of the neck. Bang flop. I think 90 grains is a bit light for this bullet, but it gives the best accuracy with this rifle.

Should be good eatin'

Good deal!

Freezer ain't empty anymore!

Awesome,nice deer!

It should feel good to get something off your own land. Congratulations.

Congrats.

Probably a good buck to cull.

He will be good eating regardless.

Looks like 90 grains is plenty, no reason to go heavier for deer.

👍👍

Never apologize for killing a deer that meets your standards. This is the 24H campfire, not QDMA.

Congrats, deer for the freezer

My last Kentucky buck was about that size though a 6 pt., the load that gives best accuracy is what I shoot I could care less what the manual says.

Gotta eat,
Taking game off your own land is rewarding.

It's a damn good feeling to kill one on your own place. Congrats 👏👏👏
