I scored it last night at 144 1/8 gross and 138 4/8 net.... but i ain't a scorer.... I was sitting on a stump, in the thicket where two load logging roads crossed, I heard a stick pop behind me and to my left, I looked that direction and saw this beast. I pickup up the M/L (Savage 10ML) and pushed the safety off and on my shold in one move, pulled the triggger and I was him kick. He run off and I heard him crash. Before the gun quit smoking, a buddy texted me, "sounded like you". I texted back, "Nnice buck he's down, I heard him fall" Then I jumped up of the stump and started shaking. I couldn't remember where my quick loads were, they ALWAYS in a pouch on belt. I finally remembered where they were. I grabbed one and opened it, but I still shaking so I spilled half of the powder out. I threw the speed loader in my pocket and grabed a another one. I got it down the barrel. Then I headed down the hill into the thicket where he crashed and found him.... He ran about, 70-80 yards. double lung, one shoulder perfect shot..... Another Indiana Public Land Bruiser.....

Well done. I know that feeling, when a deer takes you by suprise, you make a shot on autopilot, and then fall to pieces. Got to love it.
