Nice Rob.Last 5 mins of opening day of shotgun. She stepped out at 90 yards across the field. Boom splat.....View attachment 214797
While i didnt get my own deer i saw plenty..i guess i should be happy with that..
I did shoot a deer through the neck, when it didnt stay down.. it was a nice shot at a respectable range with my 20 gauge.
Upon walking to it, it was clear it wasn't going much further.the first shot took an entire right front leg off leaving a fist size hole.
Remington 1 oz rifled hollow point was devastating.both front shoulders meat was ruined.Still harvested 23lbs of very tasty meat.

Nicely done! I ended up tossing one of my doe's shoulders...as the slug really shattered it! But hey, gotta get the job done!
Just stick with it. I got my buck with only an hour of the day left. Was thinking about packing it up because we were so cold.....glad I stayed with it.Whacko and DanO well done.
I got some more vaca days so im staying optomistic.
Thx Chris, definitely stay optimistic, I have gotten more than one last minute, last light etc. I have stuck it out in cold/rain for a little while longer and has paid off nicely. I have friends wives that always ask how come I am so “lucky”.Whacko and DanO well done.
