Well I did have a good hunt. Passed up a buck in the mid to upper 170's and two in the 150 to 160's. Why you ask? cuz my sack weighed 75lbs and the deer were 5 miles from my truck and would all field dress over 250 lbs.
When I was almost back to my truck I jumped a fawn with horns. He had 8 solid points so I shot him. Then I gutted him. Then I cut a slit below his spine and carried him out like a purse. Then my daughter cried till I agreed to mount bambie for her room.
Btw the shot was just over 500 yds on a dead run. Dead centered the hind quarters and dropped him dead in his tracks.
Next day I took my nephew to an 8 pointer that was living near camp and dialed the gun in for 620 yards. 1 shot 1 kill and the hunt was over.
Gonna try that area again next year and maybe I will find a buck worthy of packing out 5 miles. I'm thinkin a 190 or better buck or nothin.
I did stumble onto a honey hole like no other but that is a story I can't tell until next year. I don't think anyone would believe me if I told them.
