Congrats to you and your son! That looks like a big bodied ole hoss....and where I come from, that's a full on 8 pointer. Very nice deer! What did he take the deer with? Bow? Muzzle loader? Rifle?
Thanks BAG. He was super excited, so was I. I was sitting a few hundred yards from him when I heard the shot. Sounded like it hit solid. I said lord, please let that be him. He has been hunting so hard waiting on a solid buck. I had zero cell coverage in my spot and told him so when he dropped me off that morning.
Told him if he puts one down just come get me. So I’m waiting….waiting…waiting and then I hear crunch, crunch behind me. I’m in a box blind. I open the door and there he was with a big grin! It was one of those moments only hunters understand (I’m sure you do).
And yes sir, solid 8, taken with a rifle at 80 yards from a stand.
He had asked previously where is the best kill spot. I’m no expert but I said neck and that’s where he put it…deer DRT.
We hunt middle GA near Swainsboro (Johnson county). Farmers planted soy beans all around us the last 2 years. Has made a huge difference in our deer.
Doing a euro on him. Will post pics.
Good luck to you this season.
