pendog Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 I finally was able to connect on a nice buck here in NY. Was hunting a ridge top where i had observed many rubs on trees and other buck sign. After several hours of grunting and also alluring deer smells (thanks Tink) i had this nice buck come up the ridge and start putting on a great show. I grunted once and he started scraping the ground and ripping his antlers on the trees above him. He come in behind me and to my right, he stayed there and i soon realized i would not be able to shoot him with my right hand because he was so close and i could not turn without spooking him. I slowly pulled up the gun in my left hand and scoped him, wow i never realized how hard it is to shoot with your weak hand. I settled down and slowly pulled the trigger............:gun1: The single shot 243 hit him exactly where i aimed and he ran about 25 yards and crashed head first into a tree. I am very proud and happy i had the oportunity to harvest a nice buck. making sausage and grinding burger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
