Wifey’s Deer
-
Saturday opening morning gun season, I wanted to sit at a spot I never have before to see any activity. Our county was super slow with deer activity and hunters were sparse, well gun shots anyways. Maybe a two dozen shots then dead after 8am. Well about 1pm I got bored with no deer seen and got quite chilled so I headed over the hill to the wife in the blind and heater to finish the day out with her. About 3pm a nice big doe finally appeared out of the woods. Then a smaller doe and fawn followed. Wife says, another really big doe just came out as it had its head down, picked its head up and she said “oh my god it’s a big buck get your gun”!! I told her no you get your gun this one is yours as I have harvest all but one on the wall. The excitement when she shot and dropped it with her .243 Savage and Nosler 95gr accubond bullet was priceless. I have had this buck on camera a few times and seen him on the hoof while bow hunting once but didn’t get it done as this was my target buck if it stepped in front of me. I wasn’t too overly trying to harvest him as I wanted to see him next year but I’m glad we got him and she had the experience she did.

twilliams Are you going to shoulder or euro mount that white tail buck deer?

HerbcoFood shoulder mount, it will be her 2nd on the wall and biggest. Her other one is a nice 8 point as well just not as heavy as this one.

twilliams Every time you look at it will remind you of that day. Have one on the wall I shot over thirty years ago and still can remember exactly the situation that I got it in.

bocephus yep it’s not always the size of the animal it’s the memory made

twilliams That is for sure, I was with my nephew when he shot his first deer, a 4x4. I mounted the horns for him with a plaque with his name, the area and the date he shot it. I will always remember it when I see the horns and I am sure he will too.
