Fort Polk WMA 11/26
 

Made it to my stand at just before sun up and only had to wait until 7:00 when I saw the fork horn rubbing on down the firebreak from my stand. He turned sideways and I shot him with my Weatherby .270 WSM. I watched him drop right there behind a log. Once I got to him I then saw that I had only seen one side of his antlers....I had a nice 8 point on the ground. First Louisiana deer and first deer in three years (thanks to the Army, family, and Iraq). Now the hard part, I had hiked in 1 1/2 miles in and over a creek and I do not have an ATV to get him out. That was the longest drag in my life, but it is over.

Nice. I bet you was tired when you got him back to the truck. It's all in the hunt.

Very nice kill.....I'm glad you survived the long drag out of the woods but I know it was worth it...And congrats of your first Louisiana deer, you never forget your first....:)

Should've called me..... I wasn't at work. Lol

Nice buck.

Hey Jordan....yeah now that I am relaxing, I should have called!!! That is what I get for hunting away from the crowds.

That's a nice deer! How'd they do out at Fort Polk this week? Glad you go yourself one and thanks for your service. I know how a year in Iraq away from the woods feels.
