Smaller buck I shot a few years ago at 60 yards with the 30-06 husky. This is among the bigger antlered deer I have shot as I don't usually go for 'trophy ' deer, he sure was fun to stalk and presented a challenge to get a clean shot at.

Congrats to all big and small...... I have thoroughly enjoyed yet another whitetail season..... I shot a small forkhorn on a last day dogging run last week at camp, sorry... no pics..... it was a scramble to get it dressed up to get to the butcher.....
This week has been a disaster...... I was back on my stand this week and sat my first watch Tuesday...... there is a bruiser cruising the does that has the spot all scraped up and appears on cam only at night...... plan was to wait for him to slip up..... and I saw plenty of spikes, forks and a 6 pointer I thought long and hard on......
Oh yeah, I had brought my 7-08 up to camp for a new hunter and even provided the ammo..... it's my "stand rifle" in that it is scoped as opposed to my 308 scout which has a red dot for dogging and recent hog hunts...... I took it out of the case in the dark Tuesday, loaded it up and made my way to the stand...... when the sun was fully up, I looked down only to find that the front ring was loose from the base and the scope was completely canted....... lesson learned...... may buy an axxis (yuck) to loan out, because this thing was completely solid and sighted in at 100 before the loan......
Regrouping and looking forward to black powder season...... a minute in the woods is worth 1000 behind a desk and I can't wait to get back out there!

Buck Slump
I prefer - "keeping them fresh in the woods" until late bow starts
OK, I'll go along with that. Puts a more positive spin on things.
Nothing exciting or spectacular about this buck from this morning, except for the fact that I took him with a DA Socom M14 clone, set up scout-style. I've always wanted to take a deer with this type of gun...happy now to have done so, time to go back to more traditional hunting guns for me.
