Well managed to harvest a small 7point buck on
the second day of Ohio's gun season. He was walking on a ridge about 30 yards in front of me.
I shot him with my Hawken .50 cal percussion with
PRB.(I know it was supposed to be my Lyman.50
GPR F/L. It was so wet the first couple days i
woosed out.)
Anyhow he dropped where he stood and then
rolled into a gully about 35 - 40 yards below.
After field dressing it took my son and I with a
little help from the grandson about 45 minutes
to get him out of the gully and we were still
1/4 mile from the truck. It was a long haul
but we made it mostly in the dark since the
shot was not taken till 5p.m.
After field dressing wheight was 140 pounds.
Was missing a brow tyne hence 7pt.
Had a great time especially the time spent
with son and grandson.
Son got a big doe the next day. Grandson will
be back today looking for his.He had to return
for school by Weds.
I still have two doe permits to use for the
M/L hunt at the end of Dec.
Hope i have not bored you too much
