We went out and hunted a friends land this weekend, it was a great success in short.
Left Saturday, hunted saturday afternoon, and sunday morning. It was really quiet not seeing any white tail or hogs until around 6:30 when I saw one with head gear at 250 yards standing on the edge of a marsh. I was shooting a rifle identical to mine, yet not mine . Well what was the major difference? mine is sighted in at 100 this one was sighted in at 200, the result is when I compensated for the added distance my shot was about 2 inches high. The deer looked a little confused which gave me enough time to send another one for a texas heart shot.
This is my first Whitetail Buck after blowing a shot last year and passing on a couple this year.
My buddy Jamey O'Bannon over at Double O Taxidermy is going to be doing the work for me.
My old man shot a great 7 point that should have been an 8 but is a stud none the less.
