A whole bunch of great bucks here.   Good job to all who have been successful and good luck to all who still have hunting to do.

Got this one on the high hunt.... spotted him in pre-season scouting and planned to pass him for better bucks (wanted something better than last year. I ended up with a quick short (200yds) shot, he was standing in the shadows and had us pegged... didn't get a chance to size him up. Taken with a Benchmark barrels 7wsm.

Nice buck, congrats. Not as big as last year, but nice any way. Same area? New rifle too?

[landcbeitner]

Different area... different rifle. It's nice to use a different rifle every year I do so much scouting in the pre-season I never know where I'll be next... I try to go where the big ones are. I just don't seem to collect them.

As far as I can tell from his post i'd say he is shooting deer?

It's a custom built (by Benchmark Barrels) 7wsm. 23" varmint contour barrel (fluted) Bell and Carlson stock, quick clip magazine etc. I'm shooting 140gr Berger VLD's at 3160fps.

I love it!

I know its a 2012 buck thread. But it is a 6 point, 4 legs and 2 ears. Been a while since I had to make sure that it didnt have antlers.

We had a couple big boys located pre-season, that were always together and thought it might be easier to double up that way. Of course we never saw them during the season.

Are cans legal for big game hunting?

Well yesterday was the start of muzzle load season. So a buddy took me to his spot. We spotted 4 legal bucks together. A real nice 3x3 with tall eye Gaurds, a heavy 2x3, and 2 small 3x3s. So while we are waiting for them to bed I told my buddy "hey, this is your spot and your muzzle load hunt, I have the multi and a rut permit. I'm not trying to mess up your hunt. So if decide to shoot, I won't do it until after you shoot. So the deer bed and we sneak up. The little bucks jump up first and then the 2 bigger bucks jumped up together. He is on shooting sticks and I'm on my knee. The bucks stop at around 130 yards. He shoots and misses. The big 3 point and 2 little bucks ran. The heavy 2x3 stood there still. Broadside. Idk why but I pulled the trigger on him. Ended up being a perfect lung shot. My plan was to hunt hard and hold out for a buck big enough for a shoulder mount. I passed up about a 24 wide 3x4 muley even. Haha. And if I hit this buck then i don't see why I couldn't have hit the big 3 point standing next to him. If I would have shot before my buddy. I'm a good guy and kept my word. So now deer season is over and after doing my good deed maybe karma will be good to me with my big bull rifle tag coming up!


On the bright side, He'll make a cool euro mount. And the freezer has meat!
