First time I’ve killed a buck in 5 years. First time I’ve ever killed anything on opening day. First 10 point I’ve killed. Being a one buck county, my hunting is pretty much over. Too much meat in the freezer and for the first time in 5 years we have twice as many bucks as does. Watched this guy for well over an hour, maybe even 2, make his way from over 800 yards away through the thick brush. We were fighting the setting sun, but he gave me the quartering facing shot that I needed with about 20 minutes left of sun up. I didn’t put out any cameras the year, kind of got tired of them. Very happy with the end results. 6.5 Grendel, Hornady 123SST, Omega 30. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-15111-206406-1d1976eb_64d8_4fcf_b74b_4c7bf3bfa207.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/11/full-15111-206407-865ece85_a795_493a_afd9_0662653853ac.jpeg)

Great buck. Killing on opening day is a double edged sword! I've on done that once. Literally told Judd, don’t pass on a deer on opening day that you would kill on the last day, not 5 minutes before I shot this one. Yes my season is over for hunting bucks, just means I get to spend more time on ducks, cranes, coyotes and pigs.

That's a fine buck BP, may be some advantages to getting out early.
