Title: Filled my Muzzy Tag tonight
Post by: robescc on December 07, 2012, 09:09:03 PM: I was holding out for a whitetail buck but decided I should take the opportunity in front of me. I had permission to hunt this land this afternoon only. There were deer moving everywhere. I found a group of 14 does and a really nice 4x4 in a wheat field. I got to 100 yard and picked out the one I wanted. She jumped about 6 feet in the air and took off. I was worried I hit here too far back as she lit off for the timber. It turns out, I hit a little to far forward. She ran about 150 yards before she pilled up. I had to chase the herd away from her. They didn't leave until I walked within 15 yards of them.
Sunday morning I can try to fill my second deer tag with a tasty whitetail doe.

100 yard shot with a Lyman Great Plains Rifle. 275gr. TC Maxi Hunter with 90 grains of Triple Seven

Bummer, but the doe's going to taste good. Go fill that other tag! :tup:
