Herb, congratulations! Looks like an excellent hunt. Like Vikram, I was also wondering if you are shooting a slugger or combo on this hunt. Also, no snow where you are at this time of the year? Thanks for the pictures!

Good show Herb. I wish you enjoy the venison, the meat is better than on a "big buck" . :)

Yes the gun is the H & R ultra slugger, very nice gun. The rifled barrel is accurate a little beyond 100 yards compared to the 35-40 yards of the smooth bore.

I sat in the blind for about an hour before sun set. I had a doe decoy at about 60 yards and used a doe call every 15 minutes or so, just a short call. This buck put in an appearance about 10 minutes before the end of legal shooting time. The buck did not take a further step after being shot in the neck with a Winchester supreme slug @ about 60 yards. The neck shot is lethal for deer with very less meat being spoiled.
