Opening Day

Opening day the weather was perfect in the morning.
We started a run and almost immediately had deer on the run by all the tracks we had.
The deer almost made it to the sitters but turned around and crossed the creek.
We gave them about an hour to settle down and we drove around to the other side of the creek and started another run.
The deer made to the sitters and the shooting started so the 3 doggers made it to the top of the ridges and waited as usually the backs turn around and head back and they did one to me and one to my buddy.
He shot first then about a minute later I could see a deer running on the ridge between us and made directly to my left and I realized it was a buck took the shot and down he went. After shot my buddy gets on the radio and says he downed an 11 Pointer and I responded I got a 9 pointer. the rest of the group missed 2 more bucks and 2 does.
the rest of the week was rain and snow on and offAttachment 42704Attachment 42705

Thanks guys, it was during the rifle season.
The 2nd buck has really nice brow tines hard to see in picture but they are flat like a knife blade.
We took his buck into Advance taxidermy and they thought it was one of the nicest bucks they have seen so far this year due to the shape of the antlers and colour of the hide not your typical grey for this time of year going to be a shoulder mount.
