Default Nice Ala 8 pointer

I had a friend hunt on my place in North Alabama this past weekend. He caught this fellow walking down a logging road about 20 yds from where I shot a 8 pointer about a month ago. He was using a KRB I sighted in for him using 250 gr Knight poly tipped boattails and 105 gr of T7 loose. He said he was about 90 yds. The bullet ( no pics of wounds ) went in and shattered his spine so he was graveyard dead. This is a good sign because 3 years ago we didn't see any decent bucks. Now that we are taking only bucks with 4 on one side the heard is improving. I have 3 small food plots and we have 4 feeders. It isn't cheap but it is worth it.

Very nice buck.Looks like yourhunting practices are paying off. What do you plant in your food plots? We hunted over some turnips that were tore up this year, all the tops eaten off and most turnips had bites taken out of them.
