As some of you know i have been getting advice for me youth hunt.Last weekend i missed two does with my dads 30-06.So we went back up their again for the weekend.I decided to use my 22-250 because i was very familiar with that gun, compared to my dads 30-06.
We left up their sat morning and saw a couple of does that day and 1 very small buck but couldn't really get a shot at any of them.Sunday morning we decided to go to a area where we call doe hill because we see so many doe's their.So we started walking onto the trail witch was above the clearcut.Then we where kinda looking down into the area where wee see alot of deer at
When we saw two does, we figured that they where about 300 yards away.So i decided to not take the shot just wasn't confident enough after missing two deer already that year.So we started stalking them.The trail that we where heading on was in the direction they where going so we took it down.We warnt real sure where they where but we had a good idea.We where gonna go down farther and look off the edge at another area we usually sit at.
AS we got to the area we started scanning it and saw the does they where heading toward a buck 2x2.I decided i was going to take the buck because we couldn't get any closer without scaring him.I looked around trying to find a rest to take my shot from and could not find anything close so my dad said i could use him.So he got on his knees and i used his shoulder.
I was pretty shaky and couldn't calm myself my dad kept telling me breath in and out and take your time.I did just that until i felt confident enough where i wasn't so shaky.I got the sights right behind his shoulder and squeezed the trigger.He stood their for about 1 sec then he started to run away at a very slow pace swaying from side to side everywhere, he fell over once then got back up and fell right back down and didn't get back up.I knew i had got him and i was so excited!
WE waited about 1 min to make sure he wasn't going to get back up.Then we heading down they and found him not more than 15 yards from where i had shot him.And their was no blood trail not a single drop.Later that day when we got home and where skinning him getting a closer look at the body i shot him right threw the heart and their was no exit wound.We found the bullet stuck in the other side of the ribs.Thanks to all of you that have giving me advice.
