KirkV Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Well tonight I got on stand with visions of big bucks dancing through my head, and what to my anticipating eyes did appear?????? A gut shot buck meandering down the trail towards me. This was not how I planned this night to go for sure. So I gave up one of my buck tags on a deer that I would have normally let walk but could not stand to see suffer any longer. I took a quartered away shot on him and he ran 30 yards to the other side of the bottoms and just fell over. Surely not a fitting end but a quick death for him. He will make some good snackstick and salami though and put a 9 points on our teams board. I will go out in the morning looking for a big one.

SUGARKAHNE Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Re: Mercy killing pic attached I'm glad you put the deer out of his pain. And still, a 9-pointer is definitely not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
