This buck came out to a field the day before Thanksgiving right at last light!

After passing up on a spike and six does earlier. At about 115 yards he appeared on the egde of the field. I fired five rounds at him before he disappeared. Then after walking up to it my sixth shot finished it!

Ya, I wish! That's my Remington ADL .243cal. w/ Luopold 3-9scope! I was shooting Winchester Ballistic tip 95grain. I found only three holes in the cape, I know I hit him every time. But, it was cold and I was heavily clothed, I was kind of laying back. My fifth shot hit it's shoulders and droped him to the ground. Luckily he did'nt move much because if he would have made it to the woods I may have lost it. I changed ammo to Hornandy Ballistic tips and I feel more confident with the round!

I'm not at liberty to say exactly where. That is part of the hunt and it is up to you to find a good spot. I will tell you it was private land which has since been sold, and the little buck's spike horns come sideways off of their heads!

Way to go Mr 96 posts. The question wasn't to horn in on your sacred acres but rather to get a perspective on how great a deer it really was dependent on the state. That was a real nice deer and would be a slammer in some states and an ordinary one in others. Edcyclopedia was just making conversation not following you to a stand.

O.K.! Northern Virginia, free rangeing, and it is not legal to feed/bait. I have been hunting for about twenty years and this is the "heaviest" rack one I have seen or taken. But everyone is unique and is a trophy in my book.
