Got one of my shooter bucks this afternoon

Post by Hester0305 »

Well I'm all tagged out as far as my buck tags, I had this 8 pt in velvet and he was on my hit list, I had a great afternoon even though it was hot. I started out seeing a small 4 pt at about 5:00 and about an hour later I started seeing some does ending up seeing 6 together and came real close to killing one but I knew there was an older doe that I had on my hit list so I held out. All 6 does eventually fed off and 3 more does came out and as I was watching them I saw them look down the ridge and here comes the 8 pt he comes to about 80 yards and just stands there staring at the does, while he is standing there I see another racked buck that was on my hit list also I put the crosshairs on him and was looking at his rack when the tall 8 pt started walking over to him and got right next to him, I could see right away the tall 8 pt was a much bigger body deer even though the other 8 pt's rack was wider. I decided to take the tall 8 pt at about 60 yards, I hit him through the shoulder with a 250 gr Hornady hollowpoint from the CVA Optima he ran about 75 yards and hit the dirt. God has Blessed my family again with another deer for the freezer. I'll try and post pics of him in velvet also.
