FlGirl Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 It has definitley been a year of first for me. I was able to take my first buck with my bow in October and yesterday I took my first deer ever with my muzzleloader. And not only was it a buck with was a BIG buck for Florida. Here's how it went down. It was drizzling rain and my cousin and I were riding around checking some stands and hoping to see a hog. Since I had never gotten anything with my muzzleloader I was hoping to at least get a crack at a pig. We pulled up to one of our food plots that has a lot of high plamettos around it. I got up on the back of the cart so I could see and there HE was chasing a doe:eek: ! ! He was headed out the other side of the food plot so the the stalk began. With the palmettos being so high I was able to sneak to the other side and finally caught sight of him going out thru the pines. I didn't make the best shot on him. Hit him about mid way back:(. We were able to see him walk off and lay down so we marked the spot and left him for awhile. When we came back he was right where we had seen him lay down:D. Even though I made a bad gut shot he couldn't take that .50 cal from my TC Encore. He's an 8pt with an 18 1/8" inside, 19 1/4" outside spread. 167 lbs. Most people think we can't "grow" big bucks in Florida and of course we'll never have the size there is in the mid west, but this is the proof that with good management and supplemental feeding we can grow some decent bucks.

Big12Eric Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Congratulations on what sounds like a very memorable season for you. That is a heck of a nice deer anywhere. Being your first with the smoke pole is even way better as it sounds like that is a big deer for the area that you hunt. Is he going to go on your wall? Good luck to you the rest of the season and again congrats on a great looking deer.:):):):):):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
