RE: my IL Buck on Public Ground
This is not a shot that I would recommend for anybody to take and I realize that it is not the desired shot. In fact, it might shock some of you and I think that is alright. I am an expert marksman, army trained, and can drive nails with a rifle or a bow. I have also made this very shot on 3 other occasions, twice with my sniper rifle of a shotgun setup and once with a bow. These were all the 4 fastest kills I’ve made, lasting only seconds. I would still prefer a quartering away shot but am very comfortable threading a needle when needed too. great buck |

Congratulations on your buck!
P.S. If you know that you can make the shot thentake it.;) |

ORIGINAL: NCRemington700 ORIGINAL: USAF_hunter I will also congratulate you! If you are comfortable in your shot, take it. Regardless of an alert deer or not. Nice buck sir. Congratulations to the entire hunting party. Ryan. |
RE: my IL Buck on Public Ground
Great story, great pics, great public land bucks. You must have made the two ground hunters crap their pants!!
The frontal bow shot can indeed be devastating, but is risky due to the smaller margin of error. If you felt it was a sound decision, that's all that matters. I appreciate the way you presented your case. Congrats on a beautiful deer! |
RE: my IL Buck on Public Ground
Thank you to everyone! I didn't expect the support and it is much appreciated!
And Germ, thanks for the laugh although it did take me a minute - I'm blonde. |

Awesome bucks from public ground. I am contemplating taking a trip next year with my bro to some public ground. Well done!

Awesome, Mike... simply awesome!
I decided to kill some time at the barber shop here and go get my laptop and put in my Sprint air card and see what was new on HNI... I'm glad I did! I enjoyed your story tremendously! |
