Uncle Buck and his special liquor cabinet is pretty common in Texas family trees!
It is a nice theory but it was discussed pre-hunt. This was taken on a working dairy in an area with a large deer population with a 7 week rifle season to cull the herd. Large herds of deer can do tremendous crop damage so the rule is "If you have a shot on an adult deer within bag limits, take the shot. Wait for a trophy buck and you won't be invited back."

Well farm hunting changes everything from my first statement. I have helped thin out a farm herd in the past to keep the crops from destruction.
I thought the French were afraid of guns and afraid of conflict........you sure some American didn't shoot this for you????????????????

The traditional French method is to call for a US airstrike. Plan B is to throw tgghe rifle from the treestand and follow the misfire. Works best with a Remington 700.
Poor little guy. You should have passed on that one and let him mature a bit. Not discounting a nice kill, thats just my personal preference.

Shoot ..., in NC I used to kill 6 either sex deer a season. If that sucker had fur, it died.
Even shot one once with faint spots. Be suprised if it field dressed at 60lbs. The best venison I ever ate.
The "trophy deer" I shot was an 8pt that field dressed at 135lbs. I won the local "biggest buck" contest. Not all deer in all regions get big.
Nice kill HD..

Perfect kill for a first buck.You do not want to go out and shoot a 160 class buck on your first outing..............you'll be disappointed the rest of your life.Work your way up the ladder....hold out for a nice fat 6 pointer next time.AAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD whatever you do,don't take up waterfowling.Before too long you'll have thousands of dollars worth of decoys,waders,field blinds,shotguns,boats........................

Did you drag it out dressed or a full weight drag?
Are you visiting up north or is this in Fla.?
(I didn't read the whole thread)
I had to full drag him to the nearest farm road., maybe 600 yds across a harvested corn field. Then we trucked him over to the other side of the farm where a permanent cleaning station is built in a wooded area.
