Got my buck
I asked Dad to post the picture of the buck that I have been hunting since bow season. We were hunting a 1500 acre block of woods on our lease on Saturday. The wind was blowing about 30-35 mph and we were hunting with the hounds so hearing the dogs was hard.
We were about to break for lunch when Dad saw the buck chasing a doe across a bean field and they were headed to a small swamp the we kill a few deer in every year. Dad called me and told me get on my 4 wheeler and head for the walnut tree and that he was going to turn a couple of hounds out on him.
It wasn't long before I could hear the hounds as they jumped the buck and were headed my way. My heart was about to beat out of my chest when I saw the deer slipping through the pines coming right to me. He stopped at 20 yards but I missed the first shot. He took off and ran right by me but my next shot from my Remington .308 caught him right behind the shoulder and he did a complete flip before he finally went down. Dad showed up about 2 minutes later and the celebration began.
I sure wish that I could have gotten him with my bow but it just didn't work out. I know that Dad could have killed him on 3 different occasions during muzzleloader season but was saving him for me. I'm glad that he did . Thanks for listening.

Congrats on a great hunt Tyler. Way to go!
Don't worry, I'm sure you'll get one with your bow when the time is right.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.
