Took my buck this morning.

[Skychief]

I tagged out on an eight pointer this morning. Though he is no monster, I am happy to have taken him with my Southern Flinter and he will provide many good meals!

He seemed to be cruising for does between two good bedding areas (where I almost had a big one yesterday morning). The .445 ball did a fine job at a little over 40 yards.

Next will be one more doe for the freezer and then I plan to chase a little beagle named "Bubby" around the countryside through mid-January!

Life is GOOOOD! Skychief. :thumbsup:

P.S.---I only have "back of the truck" pictures unfortunately, but, would like anybody to PT their email to me if they will post them here. I am a computer klutz, but can email a pic or two. :surrender:

All that much better, taken with a ML!

Hey guys!

First I want to give a big THANK YOU to Roundball for his effort in posting the pictures. "Thanks" Roundball! :applause:

Snowdragon: I am 6'3", 190 pounds in a full-sized Ford.

Captain Kirk: I don't know the live weight or the dressed weight. The idea of flopping him on the scales and back into the truck wasn't appealing at all as it took me two hours to drag him out of the woods. My bucks always seem to run down the deepest hollows in the county. Dragging gets tougher every year doesn't it? :surrender:

Dave K: I am in Southern Indiana.


Thanks for all the atta-boys everybody! Hope you all have a great, safe hunting season!!! :thumbsup:
