Unfortunately it was with my truck and some help with the marlin. I hunted the first week. No success. One doe in the camp. I was supposed to hunt both weeks. But had to return. My daughter was very ill. Just turned down the highway from my camp. Saw a buck come out. I slowed down. He was in the ditch stopped. I continued on. He fired up and ran right into the side of my truck. I got pulled over and he was back on the side of the highway he came out of. He was still flopping around. I turned around to the other side of the highway, where he was. Stopped the truck. Looked at him. He was still alive, so I went into the truck and got my rifle. As I walked around to him. The poor bugger sat up. I walked in behind him, where he couldn't see and put the poor bugger out of his misery. Then the cops showed up. Lazy bastard didn't even get out of his car. I didn't bother to mention I had shot him. Figured it may be to much hassle. Then I gutted him and took him into the butcher. He was an 8 pointer and a solid 230lbs maybe more. He took out my driverside mirror, rear door, rear quarter panel and lens. Truck is about 6 weeks old. Oh well. I felt sorry for the bugger. I found out after it was over the hounds were on him. They came out to the highway. He didn't know what to do. So I guess he ran. Gonna head up to fogducker and dumbdawgs tommorow afternoon. Hunt fri anyway.
Hope you guys got some with the rifles anyway. Much cheaper. LOL!
