It's been a doozy of a day!
Just in from an emergency work run, though I'm actually "off" today thru Sunday!
Oh well!
At least I got to start the day with a bang!
My grandson and I were on the road by 4 am. We knew it would get windy by mid morning and we hoped for something to move early. He's had the itchy trigger on the new Savage Axis, 6.5 Creedmoor since the opener.
We locked into the 2 man stand a half hour early and watched a small silhouette of a deer some 100 yards away for 20 minutes until it trotted off to our west.
Around 7:25 he whispers, "Grandpa, there's a buck!"
Sure enough, I range him at the east woods edge, 159 yards! Then he steps broadside.
"I got him Grandpa! Heart shot! I can take him!"
I whoa him!
This goes on for a few minutes and finally he closes in on us!
I get the iPhone and start some video!
Bam!
He drills him at 88 yards!
Ended up with a neat lil half minute video but I've no clue how to post that here!
Oh, great, there goes my work phone again so I'll add details later...
