did my big buck leave cause i cant believe he would let this button buck stay in his area?

RE: INDIANA GUN HUNTERS

I had that happen to me a couple of years ago. Had a real nice doe going thru at about 50 yds. She stopped to feed and I put the crosshairs right in the middle of the rib cage. Should have been a dead doe right. Wrong! As I was giving her a few minutes to expire from the 50 ml sabot I was scanning around with some glasses that I had taken that day. And there not 10 yds from me there was the nicest little 4 in tree with a big hold dead center. It just jumped out in the way. As for bucks this year since I am not a trophy hunter and all are trophys I took a nice 2-3 yrs old non-typical that weighed 155 field dressed. First buck in the last 3 yrs so am going with the program real well. But then not by choice. Personally I think that that rule is just to try to discourage hunters and is more anti hunting oriented than to try to get more trophy deer in the herds. There have been plenty of good 10-12 point bucks taken over the years and many that weigh out more than 200 lbs field dressed. But that is just my opinion.
Hope you get your trophy or meat which ever you are hunting for. Me I am strictly a meat hunter. Love that burger to cook with.

RE: INDIANA GUN HUNTERS

I'm a Indiana hunter new to the site. I got abuck Sat. afternoon. He was a 9 pt. and the wt. was 217lbs it put my 8 pt. to shame. I missed him that morning he came back that afternoon. He was working on a tree when I seen him he stop working on the tree and look around at a smaller buck and I took my shot and it hit him in the neck drop hard and fast. Think god it was all down hill when I took him out of the wood's. Good luck and be safe.
