Decent benchleg down.
« on: December 01, 2011, 06:08:53 PM »
Spent all day hiking in the crunchy snow yesterday, covered about 5 miles, saw 6 or 7 bucks, mostly dinkers and one 3x4, but a small one, then right at dark I spotted a decent  4x4 but it was too dark to do anything.  So fast foward to today, and spotted this guy at about 35 yards and he started getting nervous and following a doe that was moving away to my left, luckily for me and unlukily for him, she led him right into a nice shooting lane at what I thought was 40 yards and grunted to stop him.  I put my 40 yard pin on him, steadied up and let 'er fly.  Well, I hit higher than I wanted too, but I watched him run about 50 yards and pile up, so I guess it worked.

Looks like my pet Pinecliffs buck. Are those fence posts in the background?

Good buck!

Great looking buck, good job!
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.
