This is Lucky Buck. I shot him Friday morning. "Why?," you ask is his name Lucky Buck. Well, here's the story. I arived late to my stand friday morning. I work at a bank so thank God for federal holidays (Veterans day). Well I hadn't seen anything for a while so I decided to walk an access road to a cotton field where I have shot deer before and seen one the week before. I had walked about half way to the field when I saw a small doe in the road. She had no idea i was there so I droped to one knee and watched her for a while. I remembered someone at work had asked me if I would kill them a deer so they could get the meat and I agreed so I decided to take her. Well the perfect shot presented itself when she put her head down and turned broadside. I put the crosshairs on her at about 75 yards and squeezed the trigger I followed through on the shot and she ran away. I MISSED!!!! I couldn't belive it. How could I have missed? When I turned the corner there she went blowing and huffing and healthy. Well to make a long story short I started to walk back to the truck and passed my stand. On a whim I decided to walk the firebreak The runs by my climber and to another pecan orchard. I got about 20 yards into the firebreak when I saw a tail hopping off. I got my gun ready and eased around the corner and there he was. I only saw antlers. I quickly raised me rifle and aimed for the neck and squeezed. I knew I didn't miss when he didn't even step. He just folded. I shot him at only 15 yards and the old a bolt .308 with winchester super X did the trick. The first place I took him was to the taxidermist. The pics are a little dark and One is GRAPHIC but hey we're all hunters right. I couldn't get the pics to uplaod directly to the site. So this is the best I can do.

Great buck and a fine example of why hunting should begin as soon as you walk away from the truck and end only when you get back to it. Nice work.
 
Sure that would be great. Thanks Wolfe. I fixed them on my computer but couldn't get them to upload. The website belongs to a buddy of mine who tok the pics.
 
Alrighty... I did my best to brighten 'em up without making the background blinding/losing quality... The first two came out alright, but the two with the deer hung were contrasted beyond my photoshopping abilities.

Where do you want 'em sent? :)

Wolfe.

That's a really nice handsome buck, congrats!

Where was he killed? I mean which state. I just like to see what deer from other states look like.

What were you using to bring him down?
 
Well he's really a nice one.

My boy won some money at a casino playing poker (didn't get that mentality from his old man, those places worry me!) and he wants to commemorate his "once in a lifetime" winnings by buying a new rifle. One of his top 3 is an A-Bolt.
