Strut10 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 BUBD............. Busted Up Buck Down. Rattled this guy in yesterday morning and he hosed me. 8:40 AM today he came following a doe and a little buck past another stand and I hosed him back. Guess he was a fighter. Sometime about 3 weeks ago this (woulda been) 130-class 10-pointer became a high deduction deer. He is a buck I may not have even shot had I not owed him one from yesterday. Here he is before he gooned his right G2 and G3 all up: Here he is this morning wearing my 2012 tag: Only about an 18 yard shot quartering toward me. Entered just on the brisket side of his right front leg and exited low behind the far leg. Nice Steelforce cloverleaf hole through the top of the heart. He made about 60 yards and piled up less than 2 deer lengths from where my 2010 10-pointer fell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Congrats on a fighter !! Wonder wat his partner looks like ? Thanks, BB and thanks to all for the kind words. I'm pretty sure I know what his partner looks like. Saw him last week from the same stand where this buck died. There was no opportunity for a shot. But he is probably the 2nd biggest buck I have ever seen in the woods in my life. An absolute monster no matter what state you're hunting. Hope he makes it another year. Only 11 months left 'til the PA archery opener !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Nice work Don! Shame about the 2-3's being broke, but still a lot of fun to hear that smack knowing your shot was true. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Congrats again Don...I almost sealed the deal this morning on a 19+" 10 pointer...but he busted me! Thanks Gregg !! Go get him !! I was out looking for turkeys yesterday morning and saw a buck within 150 yards of the stand where I killed this one. He was solidly in the 130's as an 8-pointer. Getting ready to get Lil up a tree on that ridgetop right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Well my season ended with seeing a monster 8 pt...easy 130's maybe 140. Any rate never connected with him...but had a 120 class come in and circle down wind at the very last possible light! My step brother is in Afghanistan ...so I'm taking his 12 year old boy out for the first day of rifle season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
