Today was opening day of gun season and around 9 a.m. I got a call from my middle son Tyler telling me he got the big buck that we had been watching and had on my iPhone video when he was walking right in front of us. I looked out the patio and saw him and my husband driving right towards it. He shot the deer at 538 yearns using his Remington 6.5 Creedmoor with at Sigsauer bdx system. He was so excited that the deer dropped right away. I grabbed the binoculars and stood outside watching them. I had tears in my eyes while watching them hug each other. It reminded me of what is important and that is my family. I am not sure if you will be able to hear it in the video clip but they were laughing so loud driving to the house. My mom and dad came over within minutes and our neighbor and his son came over also. His daughter got right in there to help her daddy while mama watched them. While we were looking him over we noticed he had been in a fight. You will be able to see that 4 tine’s are missing. That gives it character they say so after looking him over We all went in and had breakfast and honestly my heart was full. With what this year has been full of today was a day that reminded me tomorrow is another day. If anyone has any hunting stories from today please leave your stories and pics. Until next time, again thank the powers that be for what we all have.
Your story reminds me so much of when I shot my big buck there with crossbow!!
