1 down, 2 to go
 

My brother in law filled his tag this evening. Robert and I finally spotted a buck and got to within 227 yards before the group took off. Not sure how much more walking I can do as my leg and lower back are flaring back up.

My brother in law dropped another dandy with the Strikerfire a 250gr Thor time time around.

If you remember the last one he got 2 years ago. This new one dwarfs it :jaw:

He got him at 90 yards when we was going after a 2x2 and the big dude jumped up out of the sun flowers.

No picture yet as I am dead tired, but heres a hint. WIDE, Tall, thick and a 5x7 :D and we actually fit it on the jeeps luggage rack we installed.

Congrats to your brother in-law. My Philosyphy is it's better to be lucky than good any day. When your rested up let us hear the story and see those pics.

Congrats to your brother-in-law. Hang in there.

Congrats to your brother in law. Take it easy and rest that back.

Congrats! Sounds like a beast. Can't wait to see some pics.

We need a picture. Sounds like a nice one

Sounds nice. Sorry about the back. Nothing worse than back problems. Work on your core strength. Push-ups, rowing, whatever (I hate sit-ups).

Another teaser...

27 3/4" wide :D :D

my buck is down! That 338gr Powerbelt Platinum dropped him in his tracks.

Congrats, ready for the pics and the stories of both deer.

Congrats on the buck.

Congrats, still waiting on those pics.

I heard that exact "2 Down - 1 To Go" last December.

Both of my hunting partners harvested at least one deer last hunting season. I was shut-out and both of those fellas kept letting me know their success - and my lack of it..... just kept rubbing it-in, like pouring salt on a wound. :s8:

We are a couple lucky SOB's! 20 some odd minutes of legal shooting light and Robert got his first ever deer at 131 yards with a CVA Wolf, 80gr Blackhorn209 and a 260gr PT Gold through the next as he was looking back at us.

Almost a 2x2 but more like a 2x 1/2 LOL. HEAVY body however! We danced around, hugged, smacked each others backs. One heck of a stressful hunt, but with the cold weather moving it, it helped us greatly.
