Finally bagged one
« on: December 11, 2004, 02:12:01 PM »
Well fellas...I finally hit it big. What happened to me I think is pure luck. Today was the last day of the rifle season. I went on some private land w/ some friends and sat in a treestand @ around 2:00. At 4:00, one guy was gonna drive deer. Well, not long after 4:00 I see something out of the corner of my eye and to my amazement....DEER. Wow, they didn't fall off the face of the earth  :roll: . Well, being Mr. Stealth I snuck my head around the other side to see when the 2 deer were going to move. Well, the first one started at a dead trot. I got the rifle up and yelled out a bleat to stop her. When she did stop @ 20 yds, a .243 w/ 95 grain ballistic tips dropped her. I saw her twitching, almost looked like she was gonna get up again so I shot once more to seal the deal. Nice doe (approx 80 lbs) and it's meat in the freezer. Such a great feeling  :grin: . Still got one more tag. And that's for late archery and/or late muzzleloader. And it's an antlered tag if I use the bow. OR...it's an antlered or antlerless tag if I use the muzzleloader. Whatever seems more interesting. Take care!  :D

Congratulations on the deer, nice to put some meat in the freezer.  :D
I prefer to have a doe for meat anyways. They always seem to taste better.  :grin:
If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.
