Today was opening day for gun deer hunting in Kaintuckee. One of my most favoritest days of the year. :biggrin:
I saw a little button buck and a 3 pointer early and then, with a few grunt calls, got this guy to show up. Put a 100gr .243 in his neck (the only part I could see of him in the jungle I hunt in) at 60 yards. Field dressed 181 pounds, 8 pointer, 19 inch outside spread, 17 1/2 inch inside spread, aged at 3 1/2 years old by the KY Fish and Wildlife biologist who was checking deer at the deer processor I took him to. The biologist said he was one of the healthiest looking 3 1/2 year olds he's seen. I know he's going to be some good eatin'. :eyebrownod:

O'' Bop wasn't around but my Honda 4 wheeler was. :eyebrownod: With out that 4 wheeler I'd have to quit deer hunting. My draggin' muscles are all dragged out. :laf:
pitw...... yep, the ground is some what flat for about 175 yards. :eyebrownod:
Congrats! That is a nice looking buck. I really wished that Ohio would open up gun season to rifles. It is still shotgun, black powder, or archery. Again, nice deer.
