Ok boys and girls, the gun season for most states has started 1... let's see your deer gun kills for 2011 ... there is one monster down from some dude we all know and love (not me).. Post them up!
Nope, not 9 days too early here in Tennessee. I think he was stretching it a bit when he said it was someone who "everybody knows and loves". It's just me. I took this guy at 6:20 am this morning with my TC Encore muzzleloader. I walked out my back door at 5:00 am, walked through my shed, strapped my climber on my back and was on stand by 5:15 am. Living in the country is great.
LittleChief, that is ONE heck of a buck! Seriously, great job and I am envious of your country living hunting man. Good luck the rest of the season.
Thanks, Tony. This was a H E A V Y deer. It was all my son and I could do to drag him up the gulley he fell in far enough to hook a winch cable onto him. His front legs were as big as some smaller doe's hindquarters. I have to admit, it was a unique experience to have antlers banging against my ankles as I was skinning him. This is my best buck ever. I can't believe I got him here on my home club. I really regreat having the wrong weapon in my hand. No one can ever say for sure, but there's an excellent chance I would have gotten him with my bow. He was only 15-20 yards away when I pulled the trigger. That was after he had gone right under me. It's a good day.... but I'm pretty tired now!
OK .. here is my first of the 2011 gun season ... more to come ... Lord willing Shot @ 7:30am today Remington 1187 Copper Solids Shot @ 15 yards
I'll post this one up for Slab Crappy ... his story on this doe is a good one... I have told some of you that a huge doe kept busting me during bow ..... this was her .. dark colored and twice as big as mine ....
That's a big old girl, Tony! Congratulations! Tell your brother I said congrats also. His doesn't look twice as big. Bigger, but not by that much.
I am behind mine and he is next to his ... she is way bigger than that pic shows ... I am so glad she is dead ...lollol
There is someone else we all know and love that shot a nice buck yesterday .... hopefully he will post it up ...
