Turkeygirl Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 What an unreal morning...I FINALLY broke my dry spell of no buck with shotgun....I was blessed again....with taking a lovely 10 POINT BUCK!!!!! I was in a ladder stand that was within 100 yards of the stand where I shot my bow buck. I had great views and shooting into a corn field in front of me and to the right. It got light out and about 10 - 7am I catch movement and here comes a deer walking the field edge, he turns into the woods up ahead of me and I see antlers! I get my scope on him and he's got his nose to the ground. i give him a "meeehhh" He stops, I had to lean over a little to get around a tree and BOOM! He jumps way high in the air, thought "Ok, got him hit good" He takes a few leaps then stops and walks and stops in front of me about 25 yards My scope is on him, I see no exit wound or blood, I put a second shot on him, slightl quartering towards me and he DROPS in his tracks!! I was in complete shock....2 big bucks in a hunting season....this is unreal....and it's a little more special being my Uncle passed away a year ago today, He knew I loved hunting so this is his buck....Oh man...I was going to do a Euro with him since the bow I'm getting mounted...but now I'm not sure. We haven't caped him yet, he's hanging in a tree outside cleaned, our root cellar is full of the other buck. Praise God for another blessing....He is too good to me!

92xj Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Congrats Ruth. If I didnt know better, I would say this buck was the same buck as the 9pt you killed last year, with a year of growth. They look so similar, yet not really, the right beam the way it drops some, the G4 and main beam looking like a huge crab claw in the first pic, the left beam g2 and 3. Sure do remind me a lot of that 9. Looks like 2 huge deer on the wall this year! http://www.realtree.com/forums/taxidermy/107147-2011-archery-buck-euro-mount.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks everyone! I thought that as well 92...lots of similarity to the 9 from last year. Took my bow buck to the taxidermist tonight and going to get my gun buck caped out and get him there tomorrow or sometime this week. What a season!

MUDRUNNER Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Dang Ruth, your putting some serious bone on the ground this season. Congrats on another great buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 You're on fire girl. Word of advice though......you need to get your bow buck taken care of quickly otherwise the hair may start to slip on the hide and your cape will be junk. I would get them both mounted. Very special year for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
