Got another buck this morning.
« on: December 06, 2004, 07:04:39 AM »
Well I went to work and there wasn't much going on so I ask my Company commandeer for some down time which he give me.  I went out at about 11 AM and started walking the woods not thinking I would see anything at this time I was just basically hiking in the woods.  I had went about a mile when I heard some noise from my right,, It was a buck and doe standing about 60 yrds from me.  Man I didn't expect this so it took me a few second to realize what it was.  I was hunting with my 12 ga tracker II open sights so I leveled on the buck and pulled the trigger.  Again the NEF's did their job.  I hit him behind the shoulder and he fell like a ton of bricks. I think he was dead before he hit the ground.  I gave him some time to ensure he was down and out.
When I got over to him I found out he was an old warrior many battle scares and the left side of his horns were broken off about two inches from his hair line.  But he was a big buck dressed out he weighted 185 lbs.
This has been my best (By far) deer season to date !

Well this beat the heck out of being over in the sand lot shooting at humans.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just Thank God I am able to hunt and enjoy my time out in the woods.  I'm glad I 'm got ordered here.  My mom still has me worried. But she is a trooper and tells me to stop worring about her . She will be alright......And she properly will be.... At least I hope she will be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's outstanding Sarge! I did a lot of crappie fishing after long talks with my 1st Sgt. back in the old days.
PROUD REDNECK CONSERVATIVE

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun
