Dang nice - When? We can not hunt deer again until October - long dry spell til them...

anyway Congrats....

What make of rifle is that? what was you load? And please, a little story about the adventure. Congratulations on a nice buck.

Great Buck! Congrats. What is the story behind him? What is that tin can thing too?

Thanks Cayugad,I couldn't get the darn picture to work.
I shot him Feb.19th.the rut or late rut was still on.That tin can thing is my homemade "smoker".If you wonder if Tinks smokesticks work,well there it is.The rifle is a 50 cal CVA Mountain Stalker,$69 at the time.The bullet was a Lee mini-ball 360grn 85grn Pyrodex loose powder.As for the smoker,he was coming in on a string.
Now for the turkey hunters,I had a flock walk by(we can't shoot them in our county,YET)I almost blew it when I saw five gobblers and a jakestanding around the smoker trying to figure out what in the heck it was.A puff of smoke would come out and the jake just wouldn't leave.I almost burst out laughing.

Oh I forgot to add I was sitting on the ground,about 40 yards from the smoker and shot him at 67(range finder)yards.

The reason I was curious about the rifle is I have one in .54 caliber, otherwise identical in appearance. I use Tink's 69 liquid scent during rut and I wish I could show the same results.

The smoker is made of three vegtable cans JB welded.Hey I'm cheap.

Way to go partner, Congrat's!

that's really excellent!
