Here's a buck I killed Saturday afternoon. He was chasing a doe and snort-wheezing at nearby bucks. I watched him for about 15 minutes as he was filtering through the brush, not offering me a shot opportunity. Finally, he came out of the brush and stood broadside at 120 yards from me, and I took the shot at 5:30 pm. He was a really heavy-bodied buck by Texas standards, dressing out at 150 lbs. I was shooting a custom lightweight 6.5 Creed with the Pierce Ti action I built last year that I posted pics of here. My handload was using Jason's Badlands Precision 125 gr Bulldozer bullet, which shoots really well out of the rifle.

Thanks! King County, just south of Paducah.
Good luck on your hunt! In a couple weeks, I’ll be doing the same; spending 9 days hunting. I have another place NE of Matador in Motley Co and another in NE TX in Hunt County that I’ll go to to fill remaining tags.

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.
It is the same when you are stupid. |

I hope he shows up in daylight for you Sarge! Eventually, the ladies cause him to throw caution to the wind. You just have to hope he does so while you’re at the right place at the right time.

Nice buck! Looks like he broke off his left G4 during the 9 days from the first pic to the second.

Hopefully he didn’t lose any more points between then and now. I’m heading out in the morning. Forecast says 25. Great for hunting but miserable as hell for sitting in a stand.

Come on Ted, tell us the truth; you shot some rancher's cow and stuck some antlers on it. Nice buck Ted.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
