Title: my 09 deer
Post by: bighorns2bushytails on October 17, 2009, 07:38:51 PM: Got my deer today on opening day at 11:30AM. first time ive gotten one on opening day. just under 100 yards it was shot off hand, up hill,and was quartering away. one shot, one kill. 150 grain nosler partition with 51.0 of H4350, hand loaded the night before. deer stepped up the hill bout 4-6 steps then fell backwards head over rear for about 50-60 yards finally coming to rest where the first picture was taken. we waited 4-5 minutes and when my partner could see blood at the mouth we knew the deal was sealed and approached. we were amazed at the body the thing had. i was happy with its mass and thought the rack was intriguing with the two small forks it has. my girlfriend just cant wait for the butchers bill this year...

we had actually given up for the day and were heading back to the pickup when we rustled up two bucks. He was the larger of the two. he wasnt pry 40 yards from us when he got up and started up hill. i dont know what made him stop and turn around and look at us, but he did and it was the last thing he ever did. the end.

Title: Re: my 09 deer
Post by: bighorns2bushytails on October 18, 2009, 12:37:38 PM: thank you all. was a fantastic day couldnt have asked for nicer weather and we saw alot of bucks all day long. we saw a coyote about 450 yards off and my friend took a poke at it with his cannon he was packing and made a confirmed hit as we found blood and tracked it for about a mile or so. we never were able to recover his body. was a nice looking coyote too. i also found a small 3 pt shed, a porcupine skull and caught a garter snake while we were dragging out the deer. so yea all in all was a great day. cant wait for gutpile to get back so i can see his and his daughters deer. i think she got her first buck this year.

for those that care or are interested i included some pictures of the bullet i retrieved from under the skin, opposite side .
