Just thought I would drop a post to show everyone my buck I shot Sunday.Hewas the 4th buck I seen this year, second of the morning. He came in chasing a small fawn?!?!? After giving up on the fawn, he broke away. A downed tree would make him come within 20 yards on my stand. I could tell he was fairly wide and descently tall...but thin. Didn't have a lot of time to tell much more. I pulled back and had feared I wouldn't be able to get him stopped before he passed. After a loud baaahhhh, he stopped offering me a 20 yard quartering away shot. Made a good hit, he roared almost like a lion and ran off. I couldn't see him anymore and I didn't hear him fall. Waited about a hour to get down, was going to mark the first blood, then get some help and come back in another hour. After getting down and looking on the trail, I spotted his white belly laying about another 30 yards. He only went about 60 yards and fell on a 'sandy trail' (that is why I didn't hear him fall). After field dressing, the heart indicated a perfect shot.

He is fairly wide and tall, but thin and a little busted......I'm still very proud of this animal. I've been learning the art of taxidermy for the last 6 months, so I will definitly try my luck at him (shoulder mount) I haven't measured him yet, but I think I will hold off on entering him in the contest for a while.....my game camera shows some monsters running the property and I have the best part of the season coming up.

Nice buck, congrats!!

Congrats on your buck!!!

Very nice... Great shot..
Congrats

Congrats.
But as far as the contest goes, its first buck you shoot, so there is no holding off entering it in hopes to shoot something bigger.

My thoughts exactly.

Congrats on the nice buck but, like they said that is the one you have to enter.

Sweet shot, congrats dude!!

congrats!

nice shot!
