ruttinbuc Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 This buck came right to me this morning at 7:15. He was tough to see in the fog and the tight trees. I picked him up in the scope as he turned to go up the hill. I found his chest, squeezed the trigger and he turned and bolted by me. I followed with a second shot that I didn't need. He was dead on his feet. He went another 40 yards and piled up. I didn't realize he was busted up, but that's OK. I'll take him. Took him to the check station and he was aged at 4 1/2. Weighed 155#. He felt like 500 on the drag out. Fortunately, it wasn't all that far to the access road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks again guys. Looks like that shotgun sure did the job! It sure did, John! It is a Savage 220. It is tack driver out to 150yards. Totally blows my mind compared to other slug guns I owned. Nice! What county? Flintlock, I shot the buck in Harmony Township, Warren County. From all accounts I am most fortunate as it has not been a good week for a lot of hunters. With the warm humid air and now the rain with a big moon makes it real tough. The drive clubs have not been doing that well either. It is supposed to snow tonight so hopefully things will change for the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted December 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Thanks again, all! It was the last day of regular firearms, but they shoot guns all over again starting Monday, skipping Christmas Day, and going all the way to the middle of February..... bucks if you have a tag. You can use your bows and crossbows, too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
