Better Late Than Never

[Union Co. Boy]

Finally got to get out and hunt myself this afternoon. Really never made it to where I was going to hang my stand. Saw this guy next to the barn on the way in eating persimmons. Longest shot I've ever tried. I'd like to range it sometime, but I'm guessing 250 yds give or take. Ruger American.270 with Norma ammo. I'm tickled with him. I'll include a pic of where I was when I shot. He was just left of the barn at the wood line. And yeah, the sun was blinding me in the hero spots.

Nice shot. I always thought persimmon mast was early. I found one that was already rotten a few weeks into bow season.

Congratulations. Surprised that there are persimmons left anywhere.

I was too! They were wrinkled a bit and gummy. Had them stuck all over the bottoms of my boots. They were literally dropping all around me when I took the pics and hitting the truck when I loaded him. Whole area smelled like em.

If most of us flatlanders had to find a deer and make a shot in them hills we'd be all but lost. Well done sir.

Nice shot. I always thought persimmon mast was early. I found one that was already rotten a few weeks into bow season.

Me too...I always thought of persimmon as an early season mast...until this year when I found three different trees loaded in December....then I learned there are American persimmon that drop early then there are those that drop late...but I never knew that until this year.
