WV opening day success!

This is copied from my post in the contest. Definitly not my biggest buck, but I'm thrilled to take, and track down 2 deer with my dad and 2 bucks nonetheless. :D

After loosing my primary property 4 days ago (&#$&#$ developers), I hunted public land this morning and decided that any deer was good enough. It just so happens that "any deer" was a smaller basket 6 point. He'll go green about 43" Definitly not my biggest buck, but one I'm proud of given the circumstances. I didnt scout this land at all, I just found a small funnel on an arial photo and set up. 35 yard shot, quartering away. Entered behind last rib, exited through the opposite shoulder. Again, its not going to be much help, but its 130 lbs dressed worth of venison Pics to come as soon as I find my usb cable for my digital.

Its almost 100" less than my current big buck, but I'll admit, I was just as nervous shooting that little 6 point than I was shooting the 132" 10 point I shot a few years back. I have another buck tag and a doe tag, so now I'm hunting for a buck for the wall and to fill the freezer. My dad shot a non typical 7 point on his friends land this morning, and I'll try and get pics of that deer for the boards.
