p.s. the squirrel was bothersome and a flea bag and got it while I boiled the head , just saying
Some deer on our place have been groomed over all year in photos , some were designated as "target deer " , either because they had not what I like in horn configuration and or had exactly what I like in horn configuration.
The list included several 8 points and 10 points, con uno 11 , one big 6 point and several spikes.
Are we blessed to have so many target deer you might ask , well heck yeah is the answer
Now mind ya this , when you hunt our place , you will likely see several deer .
We do not shoot does simply because we do not have large numbers of them .
If a group of does does make an appearance it is quite likely a buck is nearby .
Saturday morning a small group of 3 does and a button buck showed up at first light .
Really nervous about who was in the area for sure .....
they watched the woods intently all huddled up for a bit as I sat quietly and watched closely ......
Me thunk a good one is close , they wouldn't be that nervous over a lil buck for sure ......
7: 10 am they were all antsy , 7 : 15 .... K A B O O M !
He left one leg hanging at high speed , H asked if I lost him ....
Said not likely bro , hurt bad was that big 6 .....
So when someone goes off and thinks I won't shoot a cull buck ,when a big 10 or 11 is near
Well that just ain't so ......
by 7 :15 Sunday morning he was a boiled head and meat in the freezer .....just saying
p.s. during the field dress part I was amazed to find my spent round in the top of his heart !
went 40 yards and not a drop of blood , go figure ....
probably one of my top 10 hunts for sure , seemed scripted and not terribly tough on my older bones , good stuff for sure , my only regret is my grandson wasn't with me on the hunt ....

Nice healthy size. Perfect shaped rack. Good shot.
Super nice 6 point, glad you got him. In the 1980s I used to shoot 30-06 165 grain Core lokts and they would stay in the deer most of the time. Usually just under the hide.

H was keeping stuff from the inside of said buck , liver , kidneys and then wanted the heart .....
when I reached in there I told him it was not good , the top was blown right up and it was full of bone fragments .....
until right when my hand went to pull on it a bit more and I said WOAH bro , I am pretty sure one of them fragments was my bullet !
well as you can imagine the chest cavity was a sludge pool of blood and bone , the slippery rascal got away from me in the mess ....
took me a good bit to find it again as it fell down further into the sludge ....
