G.M.U 460 BUCK DOWN

[O_mykiss]

Glad you got a buck, but I've never understood why people post pics of spots they hunt that are SOOOOOOOOOOO recognizable along with nice little scouting reports on other bucks in the area.

I know its a well known area, but a little secrecy wouldn't hurt.

And hunting with a rifle thats not sighted in???

Anyway, thanks for the scouting report....

i saw were the bullet hit and i was going for a spine shot it hit a old stump behind it bark flew up and the buck just trotted off. if i was going for a shoulder i would have killed him....

[Armadillo]

cool I hunt there too   you wouldnt mind leaving that camp chair for me during the late season? anyway nice meat buck!

[pods8]

Did you pile the meat right on that stump or is there something underneath? 

[Armadillo]

hey now, that right there is good eating 

[MasterTracker]

the meat was on the stump better than being in the dirt...

my triger is set at 8oz's not typical 3lbs

Please tell us you don't really mean your trigger is set at 1/2 pound.

If so, please tell me where you hunt so I can stay the he11 away.

MasterTracker,

Great buck,

You are getting heat because your actions do not show respect for the animal that just gave it's life.  Before and after the kill for that matter.
I bet you got a few takeaways from this hunt to be better prepared.  
1. Safety, triggers set that light can be extremely dangerous in the woods. Save that for the bench.
2. Sight in your rifle.  Taking off a scope to clean a rifle doesn't make much sense to me, especially the day before season.  Going into the woods with out sighting in your rifle is a bad idea.
3. Carry some pillow cases to put the meat in.  Dirt and heat, spoil meat.
4. I would hold back on posting info like you did.  You may have company there next year.  There are a lot of woodsmen on this site that can pick out an area by the flowers in the background.  
5.  Judging by the information given, I am doubting you saw the bullet hit with a 7 mag's recoil at 210 yards.  I would have checked to see if the big one was hit before pulling the trigger on another one.

Nice meat buck.  He will taste good.

it's more 11ish  but you can pull it with a blade of grass...whats the big deal safety's always on unless im going to shoot and my finger is on the guard until i shoot..and i have 7 years if training of shooting triggers 1.5lb to 8oz just dont drink coffee and youl be alright

I saw the bullet hit the stump it was a rotted stump the type bears like and it was like a cloud of red dust...and after i shot my deer i double checked my scope by takeing a 200yd shot from a steady rest to see what went wrong and sure thing it was off...

Gotta agree w/ you on the trigger weight/safety... As long as the safety's engaged and your familiar with the weight, its no more dangerous than a heavier weight. Glad you got the rest of the pics working, good stuff!!
