Here's one my 71 year old father took after 11 years of putting in. We received a cell phone call mid-day during the second day letting us know there had been a family emergency and that we needed to head home. A decision was made to make a last minute effort to find a buck. We put my father on point and a good friend and I pushed a hillside covered in thick oak brush. We pushed out a large two point, and nice three point and this four point accompanied by a doe. He and the doe stopped 207 yards away and my father dumped him with one shot from his Remington 721 .30-06. He was shooting a 168 grain Berger Hunting VLD bullet. We quickly cleaned the buck up and headed for home. The buck is a 25" wide 4x4 and my father is perfectly fine with it. The family member involved in the family emergency will be fine, eventually.

Yup, nice buck for such a short hunt. He should be pleased and proud of that beautiful buck.

We only saw two other deer killed down there for the short time we had. One was a smaller four point that we helped a guy load on his four wheeler, and the other one look to be about the same size as the one my father shot. We saw larger deer on the oping day and passed on them thinking we had the whole week. I'm hoping someone took a monster down there. It would be nice to see if they did.
