dogdoc Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Opening weekend of the '06 Oklahoma Rifle season and I put my brother in the best stand. The stand over looks a 10 acre field with a long food plot right at the edge of the field and tree line. Anyway about 20 minutes after first shooting light I hear a BOOM then about 5 seconds later another BOOM. Less than a minute later my brother comes over the walkie-talkie--voice shaking so bad I can barely understand him. He goes---I got a big buck. I said how big--he said really big. Now first you have to understand my brother--this boy gets buck fever worse than anyone I know. He thinks anything with horns is a monster buck. I then ask him "Did you shoot twice?" He goes "Uhh--I don't know--maybe. Did you hear two shots?"--I go yea. I go ahead and hunt the rest of the morning then around 10:00 I go help him with his buck. He did indeed shoot twice--the first shot left a nice bullet hole right at where the brow tines shoot up from the main beam--a classic shot. I don't think he ever took his eyes off the rack and shot the deer's rack. After the first shot the deer actually ran towards him and he stopped it with a grunt for a 35 yard broadside shot. The deer ran about 20 yards inside the treeline and dropped dead. I was very excited for my lil'bro. He is a career military boy and is currently a Major in the Army. As a lot of you know he finished a one year tour in Iraq this last September so I was thrilled just to have my brother home and the honor of taking him deer hunting. Here is his "Monster" Buck: 9 scorable points and dressed out at 141# todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 Re: Brother\'s rifle buck.... Good story. I've got a friend exactly like that. I can't turn him loose on my lease since he's likely to get excited and shoot (or at least shoot at) the first 15 inch wide 8 point that comes along. I took him out to shoot a 2.5 year old spike last year and he missed that buck 3 times. First shot was 80 yards, second was 120 yards, and the last was 200 yards. All with a good solid rest and all were clean misses. We went back to camp and I put his 30-06 on the bench. Stuck 3 rounds at 100 yards into a 2 inch group dead center of the target. The guy was just so darned nervous he couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a base fiddle! And he's 40 something years old and has (somehow) killed quite a few deer in his life. Go figure??? And congrats to your brother on his buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfletch7441 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Brother\'s rifle buck.... I'll bet that shot to the antler gave that deer a whale of a headache for a few seconds until your brother gave him the worst heartache he's ever had! Congrats and a big thank you to your brother.

Shaun_300 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Re: Brother\'s rifle buck.... Congrats to your bro, that's a nice buck there. My 16 year old brother is like that too, keeps on shooting until the deer drops or the gun is empty. This past deer season a big timberwolf ran straight to him, stopped at about 5 yards, scared the daylights out of him, he opened up at that wolf like John Wayne, never did get the thing though....
