I think I took that one 6 years ago. It was last weekend of the regular modern firearms season.

I typically stay consistent on where I go once I have found some good sign during my scouting. When I know bucks are frequenting an area, just play the averages on us being there at the same time.

Anyway, I was slowly working my way up this little knob to look down into the little bowl I had seen the sign in. Just as I crested, this guy and 6 does jumped up outta their beds at about 40 yds. I had a quick shot on him just as he started to bolt. He had hunched down a bit, so I took out his elbow at the entry with my Browning 30-06.

The shirt is actually hunter orange, but like usual here, it had been raining pretty good and I was completely soaked.

 Looks like a big-bodied buck!

Yep, he was a good sized buck, body-wise. Just a little 3 point on his head, but I can't eat horns.
He was big enough that I couldn't feed his front legs through the space between the tendon and bone of his back legs and make a backpack outta him to hump him out of the woods. I tried.

Ya, when you've been out almost 20 years, you won't miss it nearly as much.


Yep, that's it. That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
