Guest guess Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Michelle {my wife} wanted me to take her to another county to try and get another buck,so we were off to Denton co. Texas ,not known for it's abundance of deer it was 85 degrees out ,but a front was on the way.I told her to sit on a tripod over looking a plowed field! this tripod hasn't been hunted out of in about 8 years! I also told her to be carefull of her shots, that they were a lot further in the field than they looked! I hunted on the ground back in the timber near a scrape line! within 45 minutes after sitting down I had a doe come to within 20 feet of me! she knew I was there and kept circling me and checking the wind ,which by the way was howling 15-30 mph and trying to change directions,but she never did spook! I kept an eye on her hoping she wouldn't spook and make a lot of racket,but I lost track of her when I started hearing hogs! I called michelle and told her to pay attention that I was going to shoot the last hog and that the rest might come her way.I picked out the last hog a nice grizzled colored sow ,put the crosshairs of my ruger .243 just below her ear and squeezed the trigger .The 100 gr. Remington core-lokt found it's mark and down she went! I waited for a minute and eased over to look her over and look around to see if any hogs were still there.Within an few minutes I heard michelle shoot,and after what seemded like forever I heard the thump of the bullet hitting meat! Michelle called and said "I just shot a buck"! I told her to stay put and I would come to her! As I approached I could tell she was excited,and asked her to tell me what happened. She said: I heard hogs behind me and two deer came out of the brush in front of me way down that way ,as she pointed to the east.where exactly I asked , "at the second bend in the trail" .I told her that was over 300 yards away ,what did the deer do when you shot ? "he fell on his front end and pushed himself" .I decided ,as far away as he was and I wasn't sure how good she had hit him at that distance, free handed and from a wind blown tripod,that we would drag the hog to the field and get the truck before looking for the buck. we found where the buck had been 352 yards from tripod ,he only made it about 20 yards ,the 7 mag and the 150 gr core-lokt had done it's job.She made a perfect heart shot,I guess all that coyote shooting has been good practice! If she kills one more buck before I get one I'm gonna trade her off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
