Mrs. FF4607 was the first to fill her tag. We spotted a few deer with what appeared to be two shooter bucks on a hillside and a plan was made to put a stalk on them to get Mrs. FF4607 into shooting position. The plan worked, putting the deer standing broad side and Mrs FF4607 dropped the buck with her first shot from the .243. A second shot anchored him for good, and Mrs. FF4607 had a tall 2x3 to hang her tag on!

Sunday, found us hunting in the same area, seeing deer from the start of daylight. FF4607 found the buck he was looking for, a LARGE 4x4, but it was not that big boys day to meet his maker as the stalk fell apart, and big buck bounced away. Later that evening, we spot that heavy horned 2x3 from the evening before, and Mrs. C-Money was happy to put a short stalk on him and go in for a good shot. Off she went, we watched with our Binos as she readied her 7mm-08 on her shooting sticks. POW! A solid hit! the 140 Partition did its job. One more in the neck and Mrs. C-Money had her hands on a dandy buck!

We watch the buck, who is moving at a good pace, across the sage heading towards the rocky cuts and draws below us. My wife and I moved around and get below him, and I readied for a shot opportunity. He stopped broadside, but as he walked down while we were making our move, he drifted down and away from us. This made a long shot, longer, and I passed. We watched where he went, and we made a plan to go search for him in those rocky cuts and draws. I figured he was going to bed, and we prayed we could find him again.

We approached the area we last saw the buck, and we slowed up or pace significantly. My heart began to beat a little faster as we approached the edge of a small, rocky bowl. There he is! He was all tucked into bed on the far side of the bowl in the shade behind the sage brush. He is looking right at us. As I shoulder the .270, he jumps up and bolts straight up the side of the bowl. My cross hairs settle in between the shoulder blades of the rapidly escaping buck......POW! The buck instantly hit the ground, like his legs were just knocked out from under him. My biggest mule deer buck was down!

Nice. Lets see a side few of your buck. PB
Looks like a big 2pt in that first pic.... :chuckle:
He was looking straight at us similar to the first pic, and I thought, rats a big 2. Then, he turned and continued on his way exposing he was a 3pt. It was game on!

I went to the turkey shoot in Spangle yesterday and shot in the snow. (FUN) I bought a book and won 4 out of 5. When I told my wife she was wondering where she was gonna stuff 4 turkeys into a freezer full of deer! :chuckle: I told her its a good problem to have.
