Got an "official" (by DNR standard) 11-point buck at about 5:15 on Wednesday afternoon. Couple of tines were knocked off from fightin' or something, so they actually count them as if they were there. Got him with Mossberg 835 12ga using Lightfield 1-1/4oz 2-3/4 sabot. Neck shot at 70 yards.
Deer dressed out at 140 pounds, so it was decent size. Only weird thing, is when you look at the teeth, This guy figures out to only be 1-1/2 years old, not 2-1/2
Anyone ever see this before? Or do they just eat real good near my house? I mean the rack didn't have a whole lot of mass, but the overall length was close to 18". I had planned on trying to avoid the yearlings and go for something more mature.
Since this was my second buck ever, I was pretty happy until yesterday morning. Just about the time I was leaving for work, a massive (12 point +, big brow tines, 200 lb? thru my spotting scope) buck came out of the tree line, came right out to the gut pile from this deer and stood there sniffing for about 3-4 minutes before kicking the pile and wandering away. Oh well, maybe that one will come back this weekend......
