Got my first buck!!
« on: November 24, 2009, 04:24:58 AM »
I'm basically a meat hunter and my whole family loves Venison.  So usually when the brown comes a walkin through the shooting lanes, I usually shoot.  This year I made a promise to myself that I would dedicate the firearms season to getting a buck.  It happened yesterday.  During a drive through some very thick brush, I bumped this guy. I got him with a 12ga rifled slug at 40yds while he was in mid jump. The hole is covered by my pump action on the shotty.  I couldn't be more happy!!  Haven't measured him out yet but it looks to be a 115-120" 9 point.  He has another point coming off the back of it's right brow tine.  Not a trophy, but a fine first buck!!  He will be hanging off the wall.

Thanks for the replies everyone.  I think the rack is kind of interesting too.  I had an encounter with a 140 class one the second day of the season.  It closed to 60yds but the firing pin had apparently broken and seared off in the Encore from when I shot it a week earlier to that day and I just sat and watched after the hammer dropped and nothing happened.  I was sick to my stomach over that one for a few days.  I am quite happy with this guy though. I'll get that bigger one next season (if he isnt hanging off someone else's wall by then).  LMAO.

Congrats! even us meat hunters deserve a nice buck once in awhile. My kid got his first deer/buck this year a spikehorn we kid him that it scored a whole 7 in boone & crocket but to him it's a trophey and I couldn't be more proud of him.
