Well went up to Haliburton to a friends place for the last week of the deer hunt and managed to turn around my bad luck finally.
I have missed 2 EASY shots on deer this season from bad shot selection ( branches ) so i think this was the pay back.
I was overlooking a funnel draw area that came from two ridges. I was almost at the top so the bottom was about 75 feet below me.
The buck was following a doe that bolted out of cover near us when a dog started working the area. The whole thing lasted maybe 2 seconds. They came blasting out with no warning, All I remember is " it’s a doe , then theres a buck behind her" They were going full out around 75-100 yards away. I don’t even remember much but I flipped the safety off picked him up in the scope and swung thru him and pressed the trigger as my cross hairs touched the fron of him.
I got the top of both lungs and took out the spine as well , he pancaked and didn’t even twitch.
Ill never make a shot like that again, it was insane
200lbs small 9 point rack, nice deer for up there. Found out it was the biggest one taken that week up there.
Now to get that big one I have been after with my bow!
