09 buck

Well since we don't have a "Not So BIG Big Game" Forum I'll just post this in here.

Yesterday evening @ 4:40 this little feller decided to check out the feeder. Little did he know I was standing in the brush 75yds from him. He took a 240gr Cheap Shot from my 50cal Winchester ML thru the right shoulder completely disabling that leg & on thru the lung area. The bullet took out the area where the lungs attach to each other & made a wonderful mess of things in there. He went about 70yds & piled up. He aint a bigun but by golly he'll almost finish filling the freezer. :biggrincamo:

Glen,

Nice job on the venison! I wasn't out yesterday, but glad to see that you were.

You missed a good day Jerry!! The last two days were perfect for deer hunting for me.

Way to go Glen! Much better taking him with the ML than the truck don't you agree. He'll be a good eater for sure.

WTG Glen!!! I passed on a few then kinda ran out of time.....One more doe season and we are done by the end of the month.
I may take one more doe to top off the freezer then its coyotes all the way...

HaMeR · December 21, 2009, 04:20:54 PM

You bet it is Dave!!

I passed deer the whole week of gun season 2 weeks ago too Al. I just got tired of waiting on the big one this year & took this little feller instead. Maybe some day I'll get a shot at a big one. Til then I'll just eat & be happy about it. I still have 4 days of ML here plus our archery ends Feb 7th. I only have one doe tag left for the year so I'm gonna try to donate to the Farmers Feeding the Hungry program.

I also heard on the radio Ohio deer hunters have donated 95,000lbs of venison to this program. I hope to add another 50lbs or so.

Glen, I'm going to create a not so big game forum and move this topic into it for you. I mean that thing is measly

Ok.....I'm kidding and you know it.
Plus it sounds like you were meat hunting and not trophy hunting so there, you got what you wanted and it'll taste a whole lot better then 300lb er.
Kudos!

FOsteology · December 21, 2009, 05:24:08 PM

The ones with small racks eat better.

HaMeR · December 21, 2009, 05:37:22 PM

:roflmao: @ the measly forum!! I was just deer hunting & with the gun seasons winding down I really needed to smoke a deer with those Cheap Shots to see how well they would work. Kinda like a 2fer.

Thanks FOs!! I'm gonna share this one with my Sister & BIL.

Congrats on the deer, HaMeR!

pitw · December 21, 2009, 07:51:41 PM

Okay HaMeR, I'm pissed

Where is the pic of the gun

. Nice looking deer and if anyone and I mean anyone gives you static send them my way

. You ever notice that trophy hunters are just a tad different than any other predator

. When I find a dead deer in the bush all the other predators and scavengers take everything except .................................................. the horns

.

alscalls · December 21, 2009, 07:56:02 PM

I was not meaning I was trophy hunting.......I passed does and bucks.
I killed a couple of little ones early in the season and been looking for another big doe.......I was hunting pounds not points.

HaMeR · December 21, 2009, 08:51:39 PM

At least the damn picture was date stamped!!

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: I'll get a pic of the Winchester if you want. But I gotta warn ya ahead of time it aint no patch & ball gun. It's a high powered ML!!

I gotcha Al. I wanted one of them 160 ~~class~~ lb does that are running around here too.

I'll get my last tag when I get paid & keep trying probably.

weedwalker · December 21, 2009, 08:52:02 PM

Congradulations Glen!!

You can't eat the horns anyway.

Yotehntr · December 21, 2009, 08:59:27 PM

Congrat's on the full freezer Glen!

you can always make some pens outta them horns!

GunDog · December 21, 2009, 09:22:05 PM

Well HaMer - I'll just tell ya ... by golly I'm glad ya just about finished filling the freezer ... :roflmao:

Congrats to ya dude ...

Silencer · December 22, 2009, 02:43:58 AM

WTG Glen ! I'd be happy with that buck for sure, its bigger than the buck I didnt get

HaMeR · December 22, 2009, 06:59:49 AM

Thanks guys!!

The antlers had too much curve in them to even get a pen out of. I won't be doing anything with them. I didn't even cut them off. Maybe the butcher shop can sell em & make an extra $5.

builderone · December 22, 2009, 07:33:49 AM

Congrats HaMeR its a good looking deer.
