GOT MY BUCK.. WITH PICS
shot this 8 point with my 45-70 xlr, 60 yards using buffalo bore 430 grain hardcast
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
here he is with the mandatory gun on torso shot
me and the buck
my favorite picture, makes him look bigger

I didn't know any states allowed hunting over bait; how does that work?HATCHETTJACK wrote: when all of a sudden the woods erupted, and four bucks come running in to my corn pile.

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.

Re: GOT MY BUCK.. WITH PICS
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 rutAJMD429 wrote:I didn't know any states allowed hunting over bait; how does that work?HATCHETTJACK wrote: when all of a sudden the woods erupted, and four bucks come running in to my corn pile.
