Smoke pole success

Snow sure had them moving today. I have been out in WMU 80 all week and have been seeing deer. Had the gun up a couple times but was waiting on a buck. Decided today to go ahead and fill the freezer. Missed a doe clean at 210 yards and reloaded. This little fawn came out at just over 100...passed...

It kept looking over its shoulder, so I waited. had two does and a big buck appear. Buck was at 175yds so I settled in nice and tight and took the shot.

Took him through both shoulders. Glad I missed the doe!

Very nice! Did he have any fat on him? The one I shot on Dec 6th didn't have any fat on him at all. Wore himself to a frazzle chasing the ladies.

Same here , very little fat which I find is quite typical of bucks this time of year. I checked the gut pile a couple days after and everything was gone except the stomach contents. This fella was eating a lot of corn!
