Finally got out today and got a deer.

Prarie deer season's been on for a week and I finally got out today hunting. Have one week to hunt and I might be able to get out two more times. So when I went out today I told myself if I saw a buck that would go 140 or better I'd take it.

Hiked into an area on the praire with a little canyon. Crawled up to the lip and scoped out across into the fingers of the draw. There were a lot of plum thickets and spotted a deer head amongst one of the thickets. It was a doe, so I looked around the thicket and found this buck. All that was showing that was open was his face and six inches below his chin. I put the cross hairs just under his chin and squeezed one off. Hit about four inches below his chin. Went down and didn't know what hit him.

He's a fair 18 1/2 inch wide buck with a split G1 and both G2's and the end of one main beam is split. You could call it a 7X7 with a few little stickers I guess. Still have another buck and two does to get.

Nice buck Jonesey, Waidmannsheil. Not a bad way to spend the day at all, Dom.

Pretty good start = I missed a nice 4X4 with my bow last evening and I think it's time to upgrade that old Jennings lol

It's been a good season so far. I've had to work really hard for the bucks I've got. But, I enjoy it and the hard work is worth it. Hope I can get a chance at a good buck with my bow.
