Ok so it was slow early then deer started going everywhere, just feeding and traveling no chasing. Then I hear chasing and grunting behind me but only can catch glimpses of them. As I was turning back around I realized I hadn't looked back over the older shoulder in a while and here comes a doe about 200y out and I can see rack above the cut milo following her, definitely something I wanted to shoot. As I got my shooting stick situated they turned straight away and finally stopped about 450y out. Watched them for a bit and then they both laid down. I moved a couple hundred yards down the edge of the field by dropping down into the creek.. A few minutes go by and another buck follows their scent and the doe gets up and they look at each other for a few minutes. Eventually the smaller buck chases her about 200y to the north of me but the big one is still bedded. A few more minutes go by and he starts headed to me, then lays down again! He has a limp but didn't look like anything too debilitating. A few more minutes goes by and he's up again and ends up getting 100y north of me and hit him with the 6mm Rem, he kicks and trots and I put 6mm Rem round two in him and he fell. Very small body for his age, haven't weighed him yet but I bet he won't weigh 170lbs max.View attachment 181198 View attachment 181199 View attachment 181200
OUTSTANDING! And with the 6mm makes it even better! Got some age on him.
