We went out and hunted a friends land this weekend, it was a great success in short.
Left Saturday, hunted saturday afternoon, and sunday morning. It was really quiet not seeing any white tail or hogs until around 6:30 when I saw one with head gear at 250 yards standing on the edge of a marsh. I was shooting a rifle identical to mine, yet not mine . Well what was the major difference? mine is sighted in at 100 this one was sighted in at 200, the result is when I compensated for the added distance my shot was about 2 inches high. The deer looked a little confused which gave me enough time to send another one for a texas heart shot.
This is my first Whitetail Buck after blowing a shot last year and passing on a couple this year.
My buddy Jamey O'Bannon over at Double O Taxidermy is going to be doing the work for me.
My old man shot a great 7 point that should have been an 8 but is a stud none the less.
congrats on your first white tail
Congrats to both :toast :toast
congrats on first of many hopefuly. I'm sure your taxidermist will tell you, if you plan on having it mounted, try not to cut the hide forward of the shoulder app. it makes their job easier and the mount look better. they have their ways of getting around things so don't worry about it.
my taxi was the one who caped it, he took it all the way to the bottom of the sternum.
Here is my pop's deer
