My yard last night. Poor quality photo. I noticed this 8-pointer limping. Injured by a buddy? Car accident? Bullet or arrow? He barely touches the ground with his right front hoof. I thought about him all day and tomorrow I'm going looking for him. I can't stand to think of him suffering a slow death.

Opening day in Kansas. A friend arranged for 6 of us to meet up (2 retired Marines, 2 active airline pilots, retired AZ state police captain, and me). I took this 8 pt at 150 yds, .308 165gr BTSP, pass through. He ran straight for 50 yds and jumped straight up and died. About 175 lbs. All of us scored, with the last one going down with 1/2 hr of shooting light on last day. https://i.imgur.com/teIoHje.jpgRifle is a very early Model 88 (4 digit) with Redfield 2x7 wide angle w/ post I never moved selector knob off 7 Took a button on my antlerless tag on the second day at 80/yds, about the same result but he actually ran a little further. Deer at butcher now.

That's a pretty rack, congrats.
What muzzleloader are you using? That's a nice looking stock on there.

Wow, too bad you never got a chance at him. He would look good on the wall for sure.

One of the guys I hunt with figured that 60 degree weather was not good for deer hunting, so he left early yesterday. I sent him this pic, shot the deer at 3 o'clock...... It was a touchy shot, 96 yards through the woods, but I had about an 8 inch opening that agreed with where you properly lung-shoot a deer.

Nice one Vic, congrats. He's obviously been fighting but what a nice rack. I can't recall seeing the organs push out like that before, wild stuff!

.308 Win. Ruger Hawkeye with a 3-15x42 SWFA "SuperChicken". The rifle is reasonably accurate but I have a Douglas XX Air-gauge in mind for next year. Here's a pic taken from another stand. At this stand, the area to the right fills up with does around 4:30 or so in the evening. Every once in a while a buck will accompany them.

That's a nice one Hearse, congrats. For just a second when I looked at the 1st pic, I thought he had a humongous body... then I realized it's not a full size truck.
