GOT MY BUCK.. WITH PICS

Post by HATCHETTJACK »

shot this 8 point with my 45-70 xlr, 60 yards using buffalo bore 430 grain hardcast :twisted:

was sitting in my man made deer blind watching a little button buck, it was about an hour after sunrise and i was thinking that was all i was going to see :(
when all of a sudden the woods erupted, and four bucks come running in to my corn pile. the one i got was the biggest of the bunch.. he wouldnt give me a good broadside shot, but finally gave me a slightly quartering away shot, i aimed just in front of his hind quarter and the shot exited through his offside front shoulder. buck fell right there

he was at the end of my shooting lane by the bigger pine tree, there is a powerline to the right where they bed down in the thick stuff

Image

here he is with the mandatory gun on torso shot

Image

me and the buck

Image

my favorite picture, makes him look bigger :mrgreen:

Nice Buck!
That which does not kill me has made a grave tactical error.

Nice buck!

AJMD,

lotsa states allow baiting for deer. In CT in the 2 coastal hunting units we can bait on private land. Its not all its cracked up to be.

can do it only on private land... i use corn and apples.. of course everyone adjacent to my property does it to, so still a lot of luck involved.. mainly it keeps the does coming around, and the does get the bucks coming around during the rut :mrgreen:

Looks like you will be dining well this winter.
