Title: N.E. Wa Pope and Young BBD!!!!
Post by: pendoreilleadventures on November 25, 2012, 08:23:52 PM: I had a great opening morning. I have had a cam out for close to a month with no real shooters on it but i knew there there. I hunted from a ground blind on a well used trail. Right at first light I could here deer moving down the trail. First came a doe and hot on her trail was 5x6 at 20 yards. I grunted and the buck put on the brakes quartering away. I drew back and hit him perfect double lunged him. I waited a few hours to make sure he was down for good.

My biggest buck to date. rough scored him at 138 inches. When I was tracking him I saw a bigger buck 160 class with a giant kicker off its left beam. I'll get hi next year.

Post by: Buckslaya on November 25, 2012, 08:40:44 PM: Nice buck, but I have two questions for you-

1) how were you able to wait a few hours before going to find/look at him? I would be chomping at the bit to see it knowing he was hit hard.

2) Why are you going to get high next year?? :chuckle:
