MUDRUNNER Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Last years hunting season was very sub par. I hunted more than ever and only managed two does, both with the shotgun. About 4 years ago i started passing on 1 1/2 year olds, and for some reason, last year they were the only deer to come into bow range, so I never even drew on a deer last season with my bow. This year started the same way, all my buddies killed deer early in October, and I just wasn't seeing squat, despite all my hours in a deer stand. Finally, last Sunday I shot a doe with my bow, and repeated with a fat old slickhead on Thursday morning....life is good! Friday was our shotgun opener, and at 8:30 this buck came cruising by looking for a doe. I had him at 50 yards but couldn't get him to stop, so i held my red dot in an opening about 70 yards. I though i had him in the opening, but shot just in front him. As I cycled my shotgun he stopped perfectly braodside in the opening and I made the second shot count! He's my biggest buck to date, and will make a sweet shoulder mount. He's got a split main beam tip and a broken drop tine that's about 1 1/2" long that make him a 10.
