a nice western maine mountain buck. Fifth day of hunting hard (nov 10th) sometimes with .44 s&w and other times with my browning ss stalker .270. Had the .270 still hunting to my tree stand 3/4 miles up a steep climb. Heard a very soft grunting coming from thick beech trees to my right. Wind was in my face and i was confident he would walk onto the trail i was using. He did at a whopping 35 paces and i put a hand loaded barnes ttsx through his vitals. He ran 60-70 yards with a bullet through his heart. 8 points, 215 pounds dressed and a very long drag for my brother and i down the mountain. (it's obvious i'm not a youthful hunter, only in heart).

Just wanted to post a pic of my youngest daughter's deer from youth weekend. She just turned nine. It's her third deer in three shots in three years... A well placed .223 and the 170 lb 6 point dropped in his tracks. We estimated him at 4.5 yrs old. He was shot just miles above the Florida line. For you guys that wonder about the size, that's a great deer for this part of Southern Alabama.

Season Lasted 5 minutes
My season lasted about 5 minutes. This 6 pointer walked up before shooting time, so I had to watch him for a while. I hunted alone this year, so pictures are selfies.
I pulled him a half mile through a bog on my jet sled, but it was worth it.
