The 6.8 got a chance to prove its worth this afternoon. Check out the gangsta shots of me and BBD. Deer never took a step, but I did shoot him in the neck

| Thanks! Its by far my best buck to date! This cold weather has the deer moving. I saw more deer this afternoon than I have all year. I got in the stand about 1pm and sat there for about 3 hours and the wind was blowing ridiculous, so I decided to get down and ease through the woods to see if I could sneak up on something. I ended up in another stand and watched a small six point and some does for a while and the wind was still freakin blowing. So I got down from that stand and went to investigate some new signs and such. I walked up to a food plot where 2 does where feeding they ran off and started blowing at me, so I just eased on through the woods. It was gettin pretty close to dark then, I heard some rustling that I figured was a raccoon, low and behold here this beast stood, making a fresh scrap. So from about 35 yards through some brush I dialed up the Trijicon 3x9 and shot him in the neck. I had no idea he was as big as he is through the woods. I am gonna in the morning to put something else on the ground. Gotta strike while the Iron is HOT! |

Shot him in the neck? Where were you aiming?  To drop him on the spot with a neck shot you must have severed the backbone.I was aiming at the neck  Didnt wanna take a chance with trackin him, it was gettin dark. I was gonna go this morning but was warn out from dragging his heavy ass almost a 1/2 mile through the woods. Thought I was gonna have a heart attack

35 yards? I was hoping for a 200-300 yard shot 
Good kill! Still waiting on my barrel from Adam. Hopefully he will have it out to me by Friday. Nice handguard, BTW. Is that a can? I was stealthy 
I like the close shots . I did take a shot on a milk jug today at about 230 free hand just to see if I could hit it. DEAD MILK JUG And a preemptive pics or it didnt happen.
