My Christmas Present!
« on: January 05, 2005, 02:24:49 AM »
Got this one on Christmas day. I had just got home from my folks house and called my brother in law to see where everyone was hunting. He told me the spot that was empty and hauled tail there. About 30 minutes after deciding not to go all the way to the back and put up my climber two does ran out followed by this big boy. Shot him on the run at about 75 yards with a 30-06 & 165 gr Federal Vital Shok ballistic tips. He made it about 25 yards after that.

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, but it takes only 4 muscles to extend your arm and smack them  upside the head.
