Been a pretty good season so far. I've been seeing more deer this year than in previous years. I've even passed on two basket racked 8 pointers and a couple of spikes during archery season.
But my number one priority is putting meat in the freezer.
I saw this six point opening morning of Archery but he was just a little too far for a shot.
Yesterday morning I went to town and purchased a new smoker, now all I needed was some meat lol.
Since they were calling for rain I decided to hunt one of my shooting houses. Got situated in the blind around 3:00 [Eastern time] and 15 minutes later had a lone doe come in to the food plot. She was picking around but was acting a little antsy, and kept looking up the ridge. That got the old heart thumping knowing that a buck might be coming down to check her out. Sure enough, I heard the unmistakable sound of a deer headed to the food plot. He stepped out at 50 yds, and I let the hammer fall. He dropped at the shot, no trailing needed.
Not the largest Deer antler wise I've ever killed but I'm thankful to have him.
BTW, I have one of his shoulders on the "new" smoker as we speak.

Luckily I could drive right up to him so no dragging was required.
