Reply With QuoteNice deer, good work.
Headed up to camp in Tidioute/2F on Saturday night with my father in-law and our buddy who owns the camp. Had a nice weekend. Got in the woods right around 6 on Monday and sat there for a while. I was soaking wet by 7:00.
At about 20 after 7, a doe came running past me to my left, about 50 yards out. A couple minutes later a nice size buck came walking behind her. I popped open my scope covers just as he looked in my direction. Thankfully he didn't see me. He put his head down and took a few more steps as I brought my rifle to my shoulder. It was picture perfect. He stopped with his head down and I squeezed the trigger.
Shot felt good, gave him some time to lay down and die and I went to go find him. What I thought was a nice 6 turned out to be an 8-point with a 17 3/4" spread. He was dead by 7:30 and and only ran about 20 yards. First buck since 2004 and my 2nd buck ever. Took him with my 200 Stevens chambered in .270. I was in a buck pool of 30 people and was the only one to come back with one. A simple $60 that's going towards getting this guy processed. Will also be getting him mounted.
Picture time!
Nice deer, good work.

Well done, he has some nice mass to him
Nice buck..... Seen some fine Pa buck so far this year from up north. Ranjan1 sent me a picture today from their camp, where this morning they got (3) 8-points and (1) very nice 10-point.

Nice buck!!! Glad to see one from that area. I spend a little time near tionesta/German hill each year and have yet to see a deer in the last two years. See a scrape or two and maybe a rub. But no scat.
I'd be proud of that one. For sure.
Couple rf's, couple cf's, and 1 12g.
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Nice Buck, good job! With the Hangman's noose some might question the method of death! ::)

We have a camp on Bimber Run Road. Last year on the 1st day we hunted the gas wells out past Hickory Creek. This year we were hunting Kelly Hill Road. This was the 2nd nice buck we've pulled out of that area in as many years. Turkey hunt and bear hunt there as well.Originally Posted by cooker900
