Gave up shooting "horns" years ago...

[HideHunter]

Most of my neighbors and the landowners I hunt on are "trophy" hunters.. I am now strictly a meat-hunter (love me some venison steaks) and could give a rat's ass about horns - so I just pass bucks. This year with the whole "eye" thing I was a bit concerned about the recoil of a slug gun so my buddy suggested I try his .44. Found I could hold it in my right hand and sight with my left eye.. Had four deer right in my lap but couldn't get a doe to hold still for anything..

You dun good, Hide!!!....I envy folks that can hit with a pistol/revolver. ;)

I'd be worried I'd have a knot on my forehead from the recoil of that thing!

Nice buck!

Good thing you are looking for antlers...sheesh!

Holy crap, he'd be a wallhanger next year!

Dude, seriously. Keep your eye on the prize. Wait, I believe you just did. Nevermind. Seems like it don't matter which eye you use, either!

In these parts we usually like to let them grow up first...

Damn nice buck Hide! Congrats and with a handgun too! Think I'll start "doe" hunting if thats what come along. :D

PS: your camo don't match ;)

Congrats Gene. That's impressive on several levels.

Gave up horns? Ha. I apparently gave up deer years ago!

That's a heavy looking deer! Nice job. Neck shot?

[BarryBobPosthole]

From his bloody nose I'm figuring he shot him in the lights.

Awesome deer!!!
Your "camo" dont match.

He lacked the height to score well.. I'm guessing a 3 1/2 year old.. He may have "blown up" in a year or two - but where we were hunting - they seldom get that old.
