I have killed bigger deer but im very happy with him, it will be great japaleno and cheese summer sausage
nice average 9 point
took him at 7:45 am this morning
with a Mossberg 500 full rifled barrel and scope shooting remington 2 3/4 buckhammer
Bigger next year?? well let play this game
if he made it until next year with all the other hunters in my general area hunting.
if he didnt get hit by a car on state road 31 like many other have and do
if coyotes didnt kill him
Shot placement???
he was at a slight quartering towards me , the passs through went right through both lungs , it was a near perfect shot placement
I have 2 much larger deer mounts on my wall , 1 of which is a 158 inch
I'm not a trophy hunter im a meat hunter so I really dont care if it had spikes cause i would have killed him
For the record i've killed 2 doe and i'm going to continue to kill doe until season is out and when muzzleloader comes in I will continue.
I know the laws and the regulation and I haven't broken any , so why do you care if it is bigger next year? you wouldnt be hunting it??
besides i've boiled and boiled and boiled those antlers and they still taste like ****
I take my meat to Fishers meat packing in portland to have my sausage made.
It's the best i've ever had and its worth my 2 hour drive 1 way
I've been deer hunting 25 years and i've killed many many deer and I'm just as happy with this buck as I have been with any ive killed
