First tag of the season filled.

Due to family and work responsbilities I've only been out hunting once since the season opened Oct. 1st but today I got in the woods way before dawn for day #2 and got set up in my favorite tree. At precisely 8:12 a big bodied 8 pointer materialized, crossed a fire road and stepped in front of my stand offering me a 20 yard broadside shot. The 100 grain thunderhead struck home, and after a long hour and 30 minute track, through some of the thickest brush I've ever had to bust through, I found him and began the long haul out of the woods. The temps were in the 60's all day so I butchered him up as soon as I got him home.

Re: First tag of the season filled.

There definately are bigger ones in the woods I got this deer out of, I see them at night when I working, but so far haven't had one walk by in daylight. As for the weight of the deer I took this morning,,, I didn't weigh him and I've never been good at guesstimating weight,,, but to get him out of the woods I had to resort to leaving him in the woods and driving back home to get my game cart because I was having a really hard time trying to drag him. It was the first time I ever used my game cart since I bought it several years ago, but it sure saved my back today.
