Shot this young 7 point buck this morning at 10:45 a.m. at 5 yards. I know it's rifle season but I still like to get them close!
This hunt was satisfying because it was an area I never set foot in before. I cyber scouted and set up entirely on topos and aerial maps. The spot I set up on was a finger and ridge that comes out of a swamp. The buck I killed was my 6th deer I saw this morning and this is more than my last 3 years combined during gun season. These really have been some lean years!
The Nosler Ballistic Tip really did a number on the heart! Can't believe he went 50 yards with his heart pretty much disintegrated. Can't say I have ever seen so much blood!
I was actually thinking about giving up gun hunting but now I am very glad I decided to go this year. Been awhile since I killed a deer so it was good to shake the cobwebs off. Now I can get back to focusing on killing a big buck with my bow!
