    Well it finally came together tonight on the second to last day of rifle here in PA. I got back from finals week and climbed up in the tree around 3:30. The farmer began to take the beans off of the field that I was hunting over at 5:15. This guy stepped out at 80 yards just as the farmer was starting into the field. I put three 165 gr. bullets from my .30-30 into before he made it 60 yards. We have nearly 300 pictures of him from the beginning of July until this week. To top things off I was using my grandpa's .30-30 that he gave me before he died.

    Buck grossed 138 6/8" and netted 126 5/8". My best buck to date. Taxidermist said he will be done in April. Gonna be a long 4 1/2 months.
