Awesome hunt
Guy I hunt with shot 3 times at a buck and hit it onces. We tracked that deer for 3 hours and after 7 total shots(2 hits, I didnt shoot.lol) we finally got it in the truck. It was the most exciting hunt i've ever had. Tension, patience, determination and def helped my tracking skills.
damn dude if you got the time
write out a little essay or timeline of the events lol
im glad yall found it
the worst feeling is not finding them
Adam first shot around 8:15. 3 shots of .308 at around 120 yards over looking a powerline. 1 standing still, 2 running. We started searching around 9:30. We were about to give up when we found 2 drops of blood entering woods. We kept searching and found 4-5 more places of blood. the trail went cold and we searched teh woods for another hour and a half or so. Adam happened to push back out into the field and jumped the buck. Adam didnt have his gun so Mr. Mitch and I brought it too him. He had 1 bullet left. He braced on Mr. Mitch's shoulder and took another 100 yard shot and missed. I did my best track star immatation back to the truck to get mr. mitch's and mine .270s. We then walked the field and entered the woods where the buck was last seen. Mr. Mitch in front jumped the buck, chambered a round, and fired and missed. We then decided that adam would go wait at the powerline and Mr. Mitch and I would try to push the deer toward him since we were better at tracking. Adam got to the power line and saw the deer laying in the road in the bottom. We went to Adam and then we army crawled closer. The deer started to get up and adam shot with my gun. He missed, but the deer went right back down. Got closer and finished it off abt 3-4 hours after it all started. It was pretty intense.
so... y'all suck at shooting...
Back to being stock and slow
Adam yes. I didnt shoot and mr mitch never really had a chance considering he had to chamber and then shoot. lol
Dam sounds like when ya'll finally found the deer he deserved first aid and a purple heart, not a close range shot while he was down and bleeding lol.
I think the final score here is Deer-1 Humans-0
How much meat did ya get?
"The 1911 is a collection of subsystems that must work together. Each part must be prepared and fit properly not only in and of itself, but also with regard to the other parts with which it must operate for the gun to function and appear as desired."
Back straps were huge, and we got a front shoulder and one back hock. But yeah, he is gonna mount the mangled rack just out b-c of the character of the deer.
Will make for a good conversation piece. I can see it now...Originally Posted by FlipKing
"so how did you get that deer?"
"well we ran around ALLL day tracking him but, 7 rounds, 5 misses and 2 guns later I finally got him"

cute.. haha.. Moral of the story. PRACTICE before you go hunting in the woods. It keeps the deer from suffering.
Only two men ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Defend your rights or lose them forever.
Lol, Adam has killed 9 deer already this year, his shooting usually isnt a problem
sounds like an interesting day. lol

It was pretty awesome. Mr. Mitch has been hunting for 30 years and said it was one of the most exciting hunts he has been on
man thats terrible i feel bad when i dont drop them or kill them right away
tell your buddy i will sight in his rifle if he wants me too
He went to the range the next day I believe.
lol i cant believe that 308 didnt do the job though how many times did he hit it?
He hit it in the back leg in one of the first 3 shots, and the bullet didnt exit, hence small blood trail. Didnt hit it again until my .270 put id down from 10 feet.lol
Sounds fun I love hunting
Still here!
i wanna see a pic!
got any pics of this monster that was so hard to take down?
No pic sadly. He wasnt that huge, just had a lot of heart and the guy w us couldnt shoot. lol
