After a 22year break from deer hunting. I took this little button buck on a lease near Norge ,Virginia.
I was set up on a ridge over a cypress swamp the deer have to come past me or swim.I had some doe in heat hung up and this little brat came in with his nose up snorting and growling like a rottweiler.I took him at 25yrds with a 125gr. Snuffer off a 60lb.Mag Jag and watched my arrow sail across the river. It cut the ribs cleanly on both sides and took out his heart and one lung.
He turned and ran down into the cypress knees I saw him drop. It was a hard drag acroos the cypress knees and back up the almost 80 degree hill to the road.
The pics are me and my daughter Lyssa skinning him on the ground. What a pain I dont have a place to hang 'em but thats soon to change.
