2023 Buck
Posted: Fri Nov 10, 2023 10:15 pm
Well let's try this again. Hit the back button on my phone after a lengthy description. Gonna be short and sweet for now.
Second buck I jumped while pushing for my wife and son who have Doe tags this year. First buck was quite a bit bigger but couldn't get a shot due to the cattails I ran them out of. A doe and spike were with him. After 2.5 hrs of looking for the doe my wife shot or so we thought. This guy popped up and took off (he was within 80 yards of us looking for that doe).
Took me 3 shots to connect...sorry 2. The first was a miss second I heard wild ricochet and third finally connected the lungs. This one is kinda special as it's the first big game animal (not including all the varmint calibers) where I have loaded the round myself. 125 nosler Ballistic Tip over Varget out of my Grandfather's M99 in .300 Savage
