On my way down to DeBordieu this morning for my last RedFish trip of the year and this damn 8 point buck runs out in front of me. And we kill it using my buddies new Cadillac Escalde. A few folks stop and one of them wants it so we are on the road again....3808

We are at the Marina in Georgetown picking up the boat and it's sounding like the big Bull Reds are about over.
We will give them a try and if they are not around we will fish for the smaller "keeper" Reds and I might take a mess home! :-)

If it had of been a Toyota it would have been torn to hell. ;)

If it'd been a Toyota, it'd have been a "clean" kill and you wouldn't even have blood on the bumper. An Escalade is classic overkill ... like using a .375 Mag instead of a .270! :D

Seriously though, it's hard to believe there wasn't more damage. That must have been a "perfect" hit! Your buddy's a good shot! ;)

Is that hole in the headlamp lens a gun turret? I've always wanted one of those. Armed with sparrowhawk missiles. For those 18 wheelers going side by side down the interstate with one going .00001 mph faster than the other.

You are slipping Thumper. It took you a couple of hours to take the Toyota bait!
And I WAS DRIVING.

Why don't you just hit 'em with the Escalade? ;)

My wife knows the feeling Cappy. This is what happened to her new ride while taking my son to the ER a couple of weeks ago.

I doubt the deer did that. It's a Chevy ... the grille is prolly just falling apart! :D

Did your wife bring the deer home for you to clean?? You all need those big grills on the front of your vehicles .
At least it didn't jump into the windshield.

Hell NO! I was on my way fishing. I would not mess up a good fishing trip to deal with that trashy thing!
Some dudes stopped and wanted it so we told them to load it up.

Did they tag it? ;)

Hell no.... In SC there is no tags or limits for hunters and certainly none needed for Cadillac kills. :D
