Opening day/Hill Country - quickest deer down ever! Got this guy at 6:55AM opening day. Had a deer convention of 6 bucks two of which were big bodied, mature deer. That's unusual on our lease that abuts a 2000 acre "game ranch" that is day lease only. I didn't get to weigh him, but he's the largest deer I've ever taken. He had a perfectly symmetrical 8pt set of antlers. I was using a rifle (Model 88 Winchester .308) that I grabbed by mistake when I packed up. It and my Win Model 70 .270 were still in the identical cases from when I checked zeros on them the week before oping weekend. I loan the Model 88 out if someone needs a gun, but no one did. Used a Federal Premium 165gr Sierra Game King Boat-tail Soft Point and he dropped like a rock with nary a twitch. My son-in-law shot a 12pt at 7:21AM and my brother got an eight point 2 minutes later at 7:23AM. The quickest tag out for three guys ever! When I get the photos of the other two I'll post them.

Nice.

I can't see the pics, but that may be because of my work computer. I'm just happy the website isn't blocked.

Congrats! That is a nice buck! I see lots of steaks and sausage. Hahaha

Well done. Congrats to all three of you. Personally, the only meat better than venison is bear.

Wow! Those are some nice Texas deer.

Congratulations.

I was wondering when you were going to post some pictures.
