    Legacy- 2018 Deer Season

    in Big / Small Game

    Posted

    Congrats on all the great bucks!  I booked a hunt for my 10 year old daughter on a 2 day youth hunt in Ohio.  We had the green light to shoot any buck but was hoping to score a good one.  Saturday only saw a small doe in the morning.  Setup up on a field for the evening hunt and had a wacky 7 point come in.  Gabby was ready to lay him out but I made her give him a pass. 

     

    Sunday morning we only see two does - I asked if she wanted to take one with only an afternoon hunt left.  She wanted a buck.  That evening we head back to the same field hoping the buck we passed the night before showed up or one of the other bucks they had on camera showed.  First 3 hours we didnt see anything and I felt terrible not letting her pull the trigger Saturday night.  I scanned the field with my binoculars and see a rack coming up the bottom of the field.  I bought her a leadsled chair with the gun rest.  Worked great for her - I clocked her cva hunter in 44 mag and said get ready.  I got him to stop at about 100 yards and she smoked him.  We were both pumped and couldn't believe what just happened.  Best hunt I've ever been on!  Matt at Sunfish Valley Outfitters does some magic with the pics too!

    I shot a coyote last year which spooked some deer on me with Hornady 325 grain lever revolution.  Hit him behind the shoulder leaving a small hole on both sides.  Was hoping for more damage.  That's why I'm going to try the barnes.

    Broadhorizons - what grain bullet are you handloading?  I just bought some Barnes 300 grain tsx to hand load.  Was hoping they would work well.  I have a marlin 1895 and a single shot cva hunter.
