Opening Mornin Buck
« on: October 15, 2008, 10:45:04 PM »


At first light, I parked the rig and hiked to the top of a ridge where I could watch a large wheat field.  There were close to 50 deer in the field, all of them either does or small bucks.  From about 500 yards, I watched 2 bucks cross the fence and come towards me.  This guy stopped at 120 yards on the edge of the field to eat a tree.  I took my first shot while I was on a bipod and he was standing still in the clear field.  Of course I missed so he took off running through thick timber and I ended up taking him offhand at 103 yards at a run and through the trees.  I tagged out less than 20 minutes into the season.

Good work.  You shooting a remington or a stevens?  Just curious.  I noticed the grey stock.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I really like the little kicker off of the G3. Good character.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.
