    Default First buck in 12 years

    Had this guy come out at 7:45 this morning and head towards the swamp really fast. He was right at 350 yards when he stepped into the field. I tried catching up with him on the camera but he was going to fast... got into a trot one time. Gave up on the camera and quickly realized this quad pod stand rifle rest doesn't really help when they are that far out. Needs to be about 4-6 inches taller. I yelled at him and got him to stop at 321 yards. 30.06 Remington Core-Lokt 150 grains. Wasn't the deer I thought it was but he will eat. I thought he was the crab claw 8 I have a bunch of pictures of and one of the 2 I would shoot. Lee County buck.

    If I'd just killed my first deer in 12 years I'd probably smoke crack and take selfies and put them on a laptop Because that's how I party

    Just don’t pull a Richard prior and set your self on fire.
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Nice shot and good WTBD.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-
