After years of smokin does and not seeing the buck, with the help of a few friends I got one! A friend and company were hunting 2b Friday and I got to tag along. He had seen this buck on several occasions and had a real good idea where he would be hanging out. I posted on the first drive and this fella cam running in full speed directly at me from about 25yds.. At 10yds he noticed the 50 cal. winking at him and turned left. At 7yds. the 245 aerotip powerbelt entered behind the shoulder and through the heart and both lungs. He continued at full speed for about 30yds and gave it up.

Big thanks to Hansel and Ryan for the excellent drive and Kyle for being close enought to witness it!! Thanks guys!! What an awesome Day!!

He's a 7pt with a 22" spread and weighs at best guesstimate about 200lbs.

Thanks guys for all the congrats!! Still pumped today! I was comtemplating a european mount due to having a hog and a fallow at the taxidermist right now. The wife ( the BEST wife I could ever have

) said NO WAY (to the european mount that is) and we are waiting now to drop it off for traditional head mount.

TGriz: I was still amazed at how well I brought it in the sights even at that distance and running.

Where did I shoot it?? Well......I can only say Plum Boro. Anyone from here knows thats a big area so it's not givin too much away!!

Dropped him off today at the taxidermist. Doing full sneak with head straight and ears back. That's the way he looked as he ran at me. Looking for another job now to pay the taxidermy bills!!
