Tagged out! :) I love this late season stuff.

Here's the whole story to my 1'st kill of the season for anyone interested. I kinda rushed that story and didn't want to take up any more space on the post I made here so here's a link.

...and kill #2

Got out this afternoon for a bit and noticed some good sign of movement on my cams last night and this morning. I slipped back to my blind for the night and about an hour before dark had 2 yearlings come within 10 yds of me. I let them pass and watched as they fed through the creekbottom for the next 1/2 hour.

I began to wonder why I let them walk as the shivvers were beginning to set in and I could deffinately use a few days off before ML season. At that point I decided I'd take the shot if they did anything stupid like come back.....what were the odds of that anyhow?

Well, actually pretty good,lol. This one came in to 60 yrds or so and bedded down facing me. I dropped the hammer and the little rascal exploded from his bed and took off on a dead run out of sight.

I packed up my gear and took chase to find the little button buck piled up 100yds away just about as far as I could see. I was pretty amazed at his reaction after the shot as he took it right at the base of his neck straight on up into his body. His insides were complete J-E-L-L-O. How he managed to even get to his feet is beyond me. So far this dang ML is 6 for 6 over the last 2 seasons and I still have both my tags left for the late season. Freakin' love this gun.

All I know is he'll make some nice tender vittles and some tastey peppersticks!

Finaly a few days off before I get back after them again! ;)

Congratulations Matt.

Amazes me how far a deer can make it with no heart or lungs. Been real pleased with the performance we get out of our ml'er too, lost track of how many the wife and I have put down with the tc black diamond since we got it in 2003. Hoping upgrade a bit before next season.
