10 PM opening day and no posts? What the heck is going on? Anyways, this is my buck from today. I was planning on letting him walk until he limped out into the field. So I decided to do the right thing and take him. 60 yard shot and he ran about 20 yards before piling into a tree. The picture is just how I found him. He ended up being a 16″ 10 -point with 7″ tines and good mass.
There was a wound across his chest and his hind foot was hit but he may have been able to make it. However, turns out my dad was the one to wound him so it was good to be able finish him. He will be good and tasty, but was certainly not the caliber buck I was looking for at 9:30 on the opener.
