Finally got one after 2 years of nothing!
« on: Nov 20, 2011, 12:14:47 PM »
But worth the wait.  I missed him twice yesterday morning. Turns out I must of bumped my scope and knocked it out of alignment
(I was shooting high and note the patch of fur missing off his back) .  So after a trip to the shooting range yesterday after noon I was all set for today. He came out and I dropped him in his tracks with my .270.  227 yard shot in the field.   8-points, 184 lbs field dressed. biggest bodied buck I ever shot.

Thank you guys!  Deer is at the processors and the head is at the taxidermist.
