Went out this morning to try to catch a Blackbuck that had been hitting a protein feeder several times during daylight hours.
Started out cold in North Texas with 34 degrees. For all situated with camera set up and now ready by 6:30. Turkeys were talking to the moonlight.
About 7 all the turkeys (about 30 or so)flew down and started fighting and running around.
About 20 minutes later the Blackbuck came through but didn't present a shot. About 30 minutes later he did the same thing again. At 8:30, I noticed him feeding just around the corner of the blind. Got the camera turned and release clipped on. He walked straight into the protein feeder and gave me a 19 yard slightly quartering away shot. I did not hesitate and smoked him! He made some good vertical jumps and made it about 100 yards. Got to see him wobble and go down in sight!
