I was able to get away from work and go by to shoot with Joe (One Good Shot) on my way to hunt a private high fence area in Ohio. Some of the deer are not very wild and some are remarkably sneaky and "natural" in their instincts. This hunt is a perk of the consulting company I work for. I shot this buck Saturday afternoon on a very cold windy Ohio day(Wind chills in the teens all day). This deer was hiding in a thicket and after a lengthy stalk I shot him at about 40 yards as he stood up out of his bed. I used my BFR 500JRH with a 5 1/2" barrel./ The 2x Leupold is utterly reliable. I used a 350 JHP over 12 grains of Titegroup with a WLP primer. I think it shoots about 1000 fps. I hit him on the point of the shoulder and the bullet went through and out the far side shoulder. The exit hole was slightly bigger than the entrance but virtually no blood shot meat. He rough scored about 225 thanks mostly to the palmation. I didn't notice the broke front on the right side in the thicket before the shot. It was good to get away from work for 3 days and shoot something. Curtis  |

What a buck! Are you sure they didn’t infuse some moose or stag genetics in that one? That’s a great rack.

That is one heck of a buck, you need to take a few days off more often. I'm surprised the horns aren't darker. Congratulations on a great buck!
