[jan buck]

small doe down.
.54 renegade.
80grs goex ff
224 gr ball
30 yard shot. got into my stand at 4:25, put on my face mask and capped the rifle.
looked to my left and there stands a doe.
bam-broke the back.i wasn't on stand two minutes and shot that deer.
it must have been bedded down. i hunt in a marsh so grass was high.ain't the biiest i ever shot but-got meat.ball took out the back bone and sailed to where ever.good size hole in and out.
my boy would have shot this deer but he has the flu so had to stay in.

Hey it's meat, grats! But you broke the forum rules, which is, this forum requires pictures. :wink:

I had a similar experience several years ago. I got to my tree and loaded my 1861 springfield. I used the military load in the gun. 60 grains of powder and a home cast minieball. As soon as I climbed up into the tree and leaned back, a big 8 pointer walked out. That huge lead slug put him on the ground. My hunt lasted less than 2 minutes.

Congrats. I finished opening day too, and it is kind of a let down in a way, but the meat will be great.

That's awsome, my hunts have been running real late with the deer moving right at dark, I set up this great new stand recently and have an average of 18 deer a day set the camera off about half of them bucks and wouldn't you know it I woke up in the middle of the night barfing, the friggin flu. I'm still going out this evening, even if I have to bring a bucket.
