So after spending Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, spent time with the family Thursday then back in the woods this morning I got one. Not to mention the time I put in during November and December I finally got one.
When I deer hunt I am a space cadet, day dreamer, thinking, game planning, budgetting in my head etc... so I rely a lot on my ears while I am thinking. Plus where I hunt I have a left, right and straight ahead that I overlook on trails so I cant see it all. So at 7:10 this morning I heard something and figured it was a rabbit since it was real quiet. I look up and there is this spike 30 feet from me and facing me. He sees me and there is two trees between us. I slide to the right out of view got my rifle up and at the ready slid back to the left and shot him in the chest while he was looking at me. He did a 360 in place fell on his back kicked once or twice and was done. That .308 150 corelokt is no joke coming out of my 26" barrel. It destroyed a lot of meat though
one of the hind quarters was blood shot I salvaged as much as I could. Dropped half of him off deboned at DD's in Bogalusa the other deboned is going to Mabile's in LaPlace, backstraps are going to the inlaws. I didnt find the bullet but assume it was in his innards and I through all that away. I gave the hide to a guy who is learning how to tan using the oil out of the animals head. He says there is enough oil in all mammals heads to tan it's own skin.
I know he is small but I was getting desperate and we shoot any and all deer anyways at this location to do the community a favor. He was shot in Mandeville. It took me over an hour to drag his ass out the woods. I need a four wheeler.
I know I should have dressed up for ya'll, that I need a better branch to hang them from
