one down 2 to go
Last night I took a friend and his son out for his first Deer hunt. We got to where we wanted to be and after just a few minutes found a small 4 point that he missed at 100 yrds.
We went to another spot and found a herd of about 30 or more deer, most where does and a few smaller bucks but there where at least 2 nice 3 points and a BIG 4, we made a stalk and got within 153 yrds after making a quick plan I sent them north of the deer while I went south behind the deer.
After a half hour I was in position and stood up. the deer booked half went the wrong way but I could see the big 4 still looking at me. And half where headed towards my buddy and his son. BOOM I look up to see the 3 point staggering and run another 70 yrds then lay down. At that point the big 4 ran right past my buddy’s spot. I walk up and after a few congratulations to Austin I ask why they didn’t wait for the big 4 He said “I thought he left with the other herd.” Anyway we make are way to the deer in my haste I forget to ask if they reloaded. Just as we get 20 yrds from his buck it jumps and runs another 100 yrds and lay’s down in the thick brush.
We hurried and reloaded and went after him. He jumped out and he missed. This time the deer ran to the river bottom and lay down. So we decided it was to dark to go after him again. So my buddy is going after him now and from what I hear he got him He was dead as could be this morning. I will post pictures tomorrow. One down and this weekend when my boys get here we will hopefully fill there 2 tags I will keep you all posted

AWESOME! As was already stated, it's always the coolest when it's a "first buck" that was harvested!
Can't wait for the pics!

Re: one down 2 to go
well here they are finally my friend found him in the bottoms in a pasture where the creek comes in. the deer was gut shot so moved along way down hill before deciding to rest. the only good thing we had going for us is he stayed in the creek bottom so my friend found a drop of blood once in a while told him to keep going down hill.
he was so stiff Ed was able to pose the deer for a photo shoot.
not a bad first buck
Auston and his Deer
proud Dad
stay tooned for part 2 my boys will be here at noon

That is some pretty good mass and spread on that buck. Congrats to the young man!
It ain't the size of the gun but the placement of the bullet.
