Sorry guys, I tagged out today.............. but not with my bow. Here is the story,

I have been hunting this rifle season with my bow and havn't had any luck. Well, this morning I went out and nothing, so I came back mid-day to check my game camera. Well, I went to my food plot behind my house and while checking the camera, I jumped up a big buck, but he started limping off (I should have taken my bow but I didn't take any weapon). Knowing that he was hurt badly, I wanted to put him out of his misery! I ran up to my house, put my orange on and grabbed my rifle. I headed down and after a little while I saw him bedded behind a fallen tree! I pulled up and put the cross-hairs right where his neck/head connected and as soon as I squeezed, he pulled his head back and tried standing up, so my shot hit him right in the eye! Not where I wanted to shoot him, but it put him down. Well, I went up to him and found that he had severly hurt both his front legs. His front left leg was missing half the hoof. His front right leg was entirely broke and bone was sticking through the skin. I am not sure what happened to him, but I am pretty sure he wouldn't have made it through the winter! I would have rather shot him with my bow, but I wanted a better chance at this buck!

He is a 20" wide 8 pointer. I will get pics up for you guys later, but I am gonna have to black out the one eye as it is pretty nasty looking!

So guys, I am sorry I couldn't help with the team score (we only get one buck here in PA), but I think putting him out of his misery out-weighs a contest!
