me and my 444P let this nice six point walk tonight
« on: November 05, 2009, 03:51:23 PM »
my camera sucks, the deer was only about twenty yards away, of course I was busted he was staring at me the whole time.  I still could have hammered him   :o
we have an eight point minimum at my club, he was a healthy deer, gorgeous silver trimmed body, thick horns
he stepped out just at 1700

I agree with ya about the camera. It looks lke 75 yards. But nice pics anyway, thanks for the post.

Hard to let em walk sometimes aint  it?

One or two more years and he'll be a good deer, John. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I like the spot you picked out for your stand. Edge of treestands into a clearing.....exactly what I would have done.  :)

John, how many deer have you taken with the 444P? When I had mine, I took a few deer. Never had a bang-flop but they didn't go far and left a massive blood trail with just the regular Remington 240 gr factory load. Someone made me an offer I simply could not resist. The wood grain in the buttstock was the best I've ever seen for a mass produced rifle.

BTW, nice pics and I also agree that your stand site is great. Good luck getting that buck in the future.
