Well, we got a nice one. We were out at first light,and saw the buck weve been chasing for a few years, we put the hammer down, shot, and I creased him in the front chest. My cousin shot a few times, I shot another couple, uncle was sick with buck fever, had his clip upside down and bvackwards, when he did get a shot, he shot it in the hindquarters, Cousin reloaded, put another shell in the chamber and made a lung and heart shot. the Buck dropped. I said he could have the buck, cause I have more hunting time, and after all, he did out it down. Just when we were packing up, the buck got up and started running again. we all ran after it. Uncle and cousin were shooting at it. It bedded down, and they were heading for the truck. I snuck up to him, and gave him a final shell in the neck, putting this monarch to rest for good. After he tagged it, we made a mad dash for school cause we were already late. At noon we greenscored it at 150 1/8 N/T. Not too bad for a 3x4, eh?? We kept looking for a buck for me, but now that the standard is ste, Im not going to settle for anything under 140, till the last weekend, of course lol.
I want to congratulate Bubba (cousin) and Dipsy Doodles( Uncle.... dad gave him the nickname when we called him) for a great hunt, and this time dad, you have to come!!!
Here's to a fallen Monarch and another great hunting season in the up and coming!!! :drink: :drink: :cboy: :kid:
