Yesterday evening I took my wife to a friend of mines ranch to hunt. I was bowhunting she was rifle hunting. About 515 a mature 8 pt stepped out. She got excited and wanted to shoot it. After confirming its age I gave her the green light. It took 10 mins to finally get a shot on him. Between moving shooting sticks between windows and waiting for a clear shot she finally got her chance. The shot was 90 yds and she put the .25-06 bullet in the middle of his shoulder. He made it to the brush and collapsed. He was 8+ yrs old and scored 118"
This morning I went to the ranch with intentions of hunting a deer that has eluded me for 3 years. Yesterday I had a 12 yr old get on him twice with out getting a shot. I fed the blind and set up the go pro. After parking the truck and walking back I already had deer in front of the blind. I slipped in and got setup. I had a 4 yr old 10 and some fawns all morning. By 7:45 I was bored and started surfing the web. Between the green screen and 2coolfishingI looked out the window saw the big 9 walking in. He kept looking at the blind and I couldn't move. He chased the 10 off and I got my chance to get my bow and go pro ready. After 15 or so mins the deer finally started to separated. I got the chance to turn the go pro on and drew. I settled the pin aiming for the opposite shoulder and sent the slick trick! I waited for 20 mins then went to look for blood. The blood trail was awesome. After about 40 yards I heard what sounded like a buck fight. I eased around and saw a buck walking off. It was the 10 point fighting with my buck! I eased around a cactus and saw my buck! He was 7 years old and scored 140 3/8".
The saga of the big 8 is over!
