My first 2012 Deer Kill

[blgoode]

That was a simple and successful hunt. Guess it was meant to be. My biggest deer to date. Pretty sweet!!

Here was my set up. Lying Prone

Deer ran about 100 yards before piling up

Congrats... Looks like you will be eating good this winter. I've never seen anyone put the legs in the fridge too

I had the whole legs in before I broke down the muscle groups for freezing.

Congrats on the nice buck.

I always had trouble with dogs chasing the deer. I knew a guy that got locked up for shooting dogs on private property. Crazy

Big bore ! Nice ! I broke in my finely made remington rolling block ,45-70 yesterday .A culling operation at a preserve ,taking a 300 lb female red deer .Those are related to our elk.
Used Corbon DPX, 300 Barnes at 1900 fps at about 100 yds.
After years of hunting I wasn't happy .Just as I squeezed off she ran ! The bullet took her too far back but slowed her . Second shot smashed through both shoulders.
Messy but the bullet performance was as it should be.I usually try for the lung shot ,very effective ,very little loss of meat.
