Yack 'em finally got him a deer!!

[yak'em-n-stack'em]

I'll post the full report when I'm not driving

All I can say is I looked down the scope and didn't see horns or spots lol

And your right I don't have a recipe for horns so being a buck don't matter

Congrats on your first deer. That is some fine eating right there. Pith on horns. Your right you can't eat them. My first deer I had to run to it real quick. A Crawfish was dragging it into it's hole when I got to it. Matter of fact most of them were little. LOL

Ok

So I got in the stand about 615 with overcast heavy rain and strong wind

About 635 I see a white flash in the road where the feeder was as it got a little lighter I could see her at the feeder eating. So I check to see if she had spots or horns and she didn't but I couldn't get a shot on here. About 650 a rabbit spooked her and she took 2 steps back.

I shoot.

I miss.

She jumps up and looks at me.
I chamber a round and aim again. This time the .243 does the job and I hit just behind the shoulder and she drops.

Ross will have to confirm the distance but I think she was around 75 yards or so.

Anyway it was nice to get the jitters out and I def want to kill another.

Thanks again to Ross for the opportunity

I hear ya bro.....that nervous feeling is what it's all about. It is such a rush to have one step out in front of you.

The jitters is why I keep deer hunting. Nothing like the time right before you pull the trigger. Congrats on your first,will be nice and tender.

My litlle boys pellet rifle would have done the same on her. lol Just messin with you. I think the .243 is fine for still hunting. I have a buddy that killed a 10 pt 220 buck this saturday with one.

I never get the jitters before I shoot. But as soon as I pull the trigger you could swear the stand is gonna shake apart!! lol
