Great opening weekend of Gun season
I dont have pictures yet but I will post as many as I can get as soon as I get them.
We did a push on a gigantic slough. There was about 9 of us doing the push. I cant even begin to try to explain how big this slough is. Anyway we got 5 bucks and one doe out of it. One buck got up to by me and I missed him 5 times. He was huge eventually my dad ended up getting him. He is a typical 5x5 his G2' s are about 12 inches, his G3' s are about 10-11 inches, he is heavy, It is a massive rack. My uncle got a 6x5 out of the same slough, he is approximately 21" wide inside, good mass, doesnt got the height my dads does though. A buddy of mine shot a nice 4x4, another uncle of mine shot a 3x3, didnt have brow tines, but it has some good height. A cousin of mine shot a 4x5, he is a youger deer, would have been a whopper in a couple of years. So to say the least this slough was very productive for us. It may sound like a lot of deer to shoot out of one place, but there are twice that many deer that got up and we never got shots at and circled around us and layed down again. It was an awesome hunt to say the least.
