My deer
« on: October 20, 2011, 06:03:14 AM »
On a year where deer numbers are way down in the north east corner, I managed to take this guy. I had to take a 495 yard shot at him, which is the furthest shot I have ever taken, and I managed to shoot him through a lung and the heart.

Nice deer and nice shooting.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
