My second deer!
« on: November 23, 2008, 11:06:00 PM »
Well after 4 seasons of no deer I finally scored today. I have a few pics of this buck from the summer but haven't seen him(or any bucks) from my stand, until today. I found a forgotten corner of the woods behind my house while hunting my dog last week and decided to give it a shot. I had a tree picked out where several heavy runs intercepted. After shivering in the cold kicking around the idea of heading in I decided to stick it out even though I hadn't seen anything. About 30 minutes before dark I heard something coming towards me. I got ready, and as he came into the intersection he turned perfectly, giving me a nice slightly quartered away shot. First shot was a little high and nicked the spine putting him down, second one did him in. I couldn't believe it after it happened, it was like something I watch in a hunting video.

I used a 53@29 Fedora 560takedown, goldtip 5575 with 100 gn inserts and b52 browdheads. They weigh right around 550 grains.

sorry the pics aren't the best.

Very nice buck! Good thinking to go to the "forgotten corner". Nothing like a fresh stand in an out of the way place.
