Hey all. Made it back from my yearly week hunt in Indiana. Got out of the truck on return and had severe pain. Went to the doctor and had an incarcerated hernia. Operated on the same day as my regular doctor saw me. Yikes.
Had a great trip. Saw 13 deer. Harvested this mainframe 10 pointer with a 2" sticker on his base. Maybe 130"? Took three of us to load him on the 4 wheeler.
Got him with my .308 Encore. He ran down, around me, and around the corner of the thicket. Waited 30 minutes. Walked up on him and he jumped up and ran maybe 15 yards and laid down. Shot him again in the middle. Shot through both lungs and heart on 1st shot. Unreal how they have the will to live.
Had a great time. Hope you all like the pics as much as I did the hunting trip. Recouperating at home now. Season opened here Monday before Thanksgiving. Haven't been able to go. Oh well.
My son said he'd carry my climber to the tree so I could hunt Saturday if I think I can climb with it (I'll be there)
