Great Write up! Some of you guys really know how to show the full detail of the hunt, I'm not one of em  Way more words than I would have used, but I enjoy reading about others experiences. Congrats on the deer and I'm sure you're excited to see what next year may hold in store for you.

That’s a good looking deer. I like how his beams shoot straight out then hook forward.

Congrats on a great buck. Glad you had enough bullets with ya. Don't miss, well 5 hits of 8 shots what were the other 3?  Just kidding, when they don't go down keep pumping lead in them until they do
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

That's crazy he ran after that first shot
Those animals out there are just tougher than their tamer country counterparts
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Or the second, or third, or fourth He was eating up them bullets like candy  I am a big fan of the high shoulder shot and shot my last one there, dropped him like a rock. Longer distance and off a makeshift stick, figured I would go for vitals.

Longer distance and off a makeshift stick, figured I would go for vitals. I would have done the same thing on shot placement. Out there precision is more of an approximation
