    Opening morning buck

    Took this buck Saturday morning. In spite of the full moon the night before and high temperatures in west Texas over the weekend. A-max @130 yards, double lung shot and ran towards me for about 20 yards. This is the first deer I've taken off of my place and needless to say I was happier than a two peckered puppy with this one.

          Nice buck. I get what you're feeling. I took my first deer off of our farm with my muzzleloader this year. Not my best buck (10 pt with two tines broken off, I bet he would have looked awesome next year), but one of my favorites.

                  Thanks, I was pretty proud of him. Truth be known, the picture looks a little better than the buck did. There's a really nice one out there that I'm hoping my wife gets a chance at when rifle season comes around next weekend.

                          Yes Sir, that AMAX has been nothing but a one shot kill for everything I’ve dropped the hammer on. Most are DRT.

                              Ty may have to talk about getting you out our way to whack some hogs in the spring. Gotta a Boneman from Dyess that hunts our place, on occasion, with his boy when he not hunt'n elsewhere with his Lancer. But we tend to get overrun from time to time with the squealing vermin.
