Finally got one.
Only took me 2 weeks but finally got one. I hadnt even been seeing any deer which didnt make sense. Just had all my corn cut so figured they would be scavenging the fields for leftovers the combine didnt get. Also they were killing my corn piles and my cams were getting a ton of pics but I just wasnt seeing anything. Didnt matter if I hunted morning, middle of the day, or evenings I saw nothing.
Last Saturday I got in a stand over looking my biggest corn field at around 5:45am and about 10 till 7 one walked out of the woods about 125 yards out. Now my scope is dead on but its magnification sucks so I have a horrible time trying to size deer up with my scope. I was trying to figure out if I wanted to shoot him or let him walk. I saw he had horns but I couldnt tell how big the rack was, how many points he had, or even how big his body was. Well lets say Im glad I pulled the trigger. Also I dont understand why all my friends shoot with .270s or even 7 mags I put all my deer down with my .243 and the most I have ever had to track a deer was 15 feet.
