Title: Northeast Whitetail down
Post by: dmoua on November 15, 2016, 02:13:32 PM: Well unfortunately I was never able to turn up that big 6x5 buck I spotted during elk season along with a few missed opportunities during the first weekend of late season. So when this nice 4x4 gave me the opportunity I took my shot.

Here is the full hunt and some pictures. Enjoy.

Thanks, it wasn't the best shots I have made on game but it did the job and that's what matters. I've been holding out for some big bucks that I have been seeing but just wasn't able to turn them up and as the season came close to an end I took my opportunity when I had it. God is always good and without him nothing is possible.

Bullet?
