375 Winchester does it again
The 2021 firearms deer season was very good to me. I harvested this bruiser on the afternoon of opening day, after passing several small bucks throughout the day.
I was watching a couple does milling through the woods and could hear another deer coming before I could see him. I was ready when he showed himself in a narrow opening at 110 yards. Crosshairs were on him in a second, trigger squeezed the next second, and he was on the ground the second after that. The 200 gr Sierra was very effective.
Once I got up to him it was immediately clear he was my best whitetail yet.
Rough green score of a hair over 170.

Re: 375 Winchester does it again
Fine job on the rifle but man, that's the buck of a lifetime. Here I am 82 and have killed around 300 whitetail and only one of them as good as that. Congrats man!

Re: 375 Winchester does it again
Great job on the #3 and the buck! I have always disliked those slick little carbine butt plates.

Re: 375 Winchester does it again
Ted, did You have a chance to weigh Him field dressed...? He looks a lot like a non typical buck from here that field dressed at 242#.
Re: 375 Winchester does it again
No, I did not get to weigh him, I do the processing myself. And we don't have check stations anymore, that's all done online now. I was hunting the family farm where I grew up, and called the folks house after he was down to have Dad bring the Gator down. Dads 83, and my brother had a broken foot, so I knew I had to drag him uphill to the trail quite a ways by myself. After I got him there, I'd say he weighed about 500 pounds.

What are you using for a scope? Is it an EER?

Re: 375 Winchester does it again
Yes, this buck has heavier bases and longer G2s. Will probably beat that buck in my avatar by 10 points or so.

Tasty venison for the freezer and a nice rack for the wall, too.
