Target buck hits the ground
« on: September 09, 2020, 12:20:02 PM »
One of my target bucks this year. I was fortunate enough to harvest on the 4th, three years in a row I have been lucky enough to get one of my trail cam bruisers. Now the long wait til next season. Withdrawals have started. But super stoked and yet remorseful. Any guesses on what he will gross score, For reference I am pushing 280lb, I shot him with 5 min of legal light left, and with little blood decided to retrieve him the following morning, thus the reason no camo. Double lung and fat bulging out of exit hole made for very sparse blood. Thankfully that night cooled off like a western washing late summer eve.

Another awesome early season score.  Good on you man!  As I said before, nice to see you posting again.  It appears your spot has recovered from the trashing and thievery of your gear a couple years back.  Congrats!
