Here's the story and i'll share. Ive shot lots of deer and big ones, but this one didnt get away. We do our morning hunts and low and behold someone shot a buck and grazed it but not much blood to be found, so we pushed this gully to try and flush him out when henpecker (nickname) calls on the radio a monster dove over the lake bank and in the mean time took a swing with his muzzeloader but missed. So we started looking up and down the shore line and nothing so everybody left. I got looking out in the lake and as if he didnt swim way out into lake erie. He was gone out there. So i played the waiting game and a couple minutes passed and he swam back in and it was around 100 yrd shot with my cva optima elite off the lake bank and as soon as he was out of the water i put the bullet between the front blades and dropped like a rock. So 2 quads later to put him over the bank we brought him back to camp, called my wife and told her what i got and she was tickled pink but said we couldnt afford to mount it so i cut it at the throat to save the neck roast and well i posted that picture in which is leading to the decison of me taking the picture off, but all said and done i ended up with 200pds of meat from him. He had some battle scars on the side of him. Just a beast. Snookies taxidermist says its one of the biggest hes seen go through his shop ill get him scored one day. Now everyone lets get ready for this up coming season, my goal is a deer with my compound.
