Tagged out in VA!!!
« on: November 14, 2009, 08:29:00 PM »
Today was the opening day of general firearms season here in VA. Sounded like a good day to fill my last buck tag.

I had a doe with a crippled leg coming by at 40 yards. I was hoping to kill her, but she wasn't close enough. She was just getting past me when this guy showed up trailing her....however he was skirting the edge of the wood lot where I was set up.

He stepped out at about 15 yards,and I managed to make a perfect shot. He only made it about 50 yards before piling up.

He is not one of the big boys that show up around my spot every once in a while, but it sure is hard for me to be a "trophy" hunter when something like this gives me such an opportunity, especially now that gun season is under way!

Shot him with my Silvertip 50@27, Axis FMJ, and Snuffer SS. Had a complete passthrough.

I'll get better pics tomorrow.

 


Here's a better pic of him...

You need to play the lottery, filled all your tags Nice, And a trophy is what you see it to be. The hunt for any deer can make that animal a trophy!

Oh trust me, this IS a trophy to me! I went for many, many years (while living in W VA) never even seeing a deer like this!

The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Allen I've seen you shoot .... 40 yards, that girl was in serious trouble but instead you take a 15 yard shot at a nice buck ... horn hunter keeps ringing in my ear ...  :biglaugh:  

Just kidding ... we all want to shoot like Allen
