I have not been on her in a while but I thought I would share a little of my good fortune! I have been blessed this year with the good fortune of seeing quite a few deer and taking two of them. First one was a nice 6 pointer that weighed in at a respectful 160 pounds. I took him three weeks ago at about 7:40am with my good ole 30-30! But the highlight so far was last Friday morning. At 6:15am, a doe came out of the woods and into the soybean field I was hunting. The field had just been picked the previous weekend. After about 5 minutes, I heard two very distinct sounds coming from the area she came out of. The sound of those grunts definitely got my heart beating a little faster!!! After a few seconds, out stepped the main attraction! As soon as he cleared the high grass, I could see he was definitely a shooter! After a few tense moments, waiting for him to turn broadside, I let loose the shot from my .270 and dropped him straight in his tracks. After a little self celebration and quite a few thank you's to the man upstairs, I climbed down to collect the gift I had been given!!! He ended up having 11 scoreable points (typical) and had a live weight of 200 pounds. Yes, I got the scale out and weighed him before I field dressed him, to date he is the biggest bodied deer I have ever taken, so I was a little excited. Unfortunetly, I am at a part-time job right now so I don't have access to my pictures. But, I will post them as soon as I get a chance!
Anyway, I just wanted to share a little of my good fortune and hope that with this post some of my good luck will rub of on someone else!!!!
Good Luck And Be Safe!!!!
