Sand Mt. doe

[Fishing machine]

I took Zippie 24's son with me this morning to my club on Sand Mt. He said that his dad and him wanted a couple of does to put up in the freezer so I told him we could do that. ( the rut hadn't kicked in yet ) I put Marcus out in a thicket that had several deer trails going through it and told him to sit down wind and watch the trails. ( he didn't want to get in a tree stand ) So I moved down about 300 yds, and got into my stand. About 7:45 am I had a big doe come in on me by herself. I watched her for about 15 minutes to make sure a buck wasn't following her, so at 65 yards I decided to try out my new rifle ( 30/378 Weatherby magum ) I know this is a lot of gun for a deer but it's a tack driver out to 300 yds. Besides, Marcus wanted a deer so I got him one. A nice fat Doe to put up. Pretty cool this morning and a lot of wind but we had a good time together and I will take him back with me.
As you can see in the picture, this gun pokes a hole in them and they don't go anywhere but down.

I let a real big buck get by me last Friday, it was about 150 yds. from me and behind some scrub brush so my shot was questionable, so I didn't take it. When he decided to come out from behind the brush, he didn't walk like I wanted him to, he ran. ( so no shot ) Went back Sat. morning and had 4 does come within 15 yds. of my tree. I watched them walk off hoping that big buck would be close behind. ( he didn't show ) I will go back tomorrow. I see you're still after those big blues, good luck and maybe we can get together for too much longer.

Nice doe FM. I was wondering if the 30/378 was enough gun for the deer around here but it looks like it is.emoPoke emoBigsmile
