    Bagged my Buck

    Went out yesterday for opening day, rifle Ct. Plugged a nice 8 pointer at 11:30 AM. I was walking approx. 120yds below him on a upward slope, he was pawing for acorns facing me. Spined him with the 1st shot out of my 308 (150 grain bullet), dropping the buck in his tracks. Took me 3 hours to drag out, I was in quite deep, still tired and sore today, what a work out. Weighed in at 142lbs, good eating size, will be grilling the tenderloin for supper tonight. Got to love Bambi-slamming, and I still have my doe tag!!!

    Other states' game laws confound me. Here in West Tennessee, in the counties I hunt, we can lawfully tag 128 deer per year. And I hear all this about having one or two tags in other states.
    The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

    I put one ad out and have a list of people that want it. It's so thick that all I have to do it call a number and say "come get it." I don't take special orders and wish I could charge a fee.

    My SGM got his yesterday, now we are all happy because he's no longer crying about it.

    Now we just need me, and 2 other guys to get ours. The Ops center will be a happier place!!
