Title: 8 pt with the Bruton
Post by: wattlebuster on December 25, 2024, 05:35:25 PM
Dont seem to be many posting deer anymore an I think we need a little more of that. Here is one I got this week with my Don Bruton rifle. Shot was about 25 no more than 30 yds. In a thicket an he stopped in a perfect hole for a neck shot. 8 pts with 16 in inside spread. Real good mass on this deer. The pics aint that good being just a cheap cellphone so excuse them please. The weight is just a guess but ill call it about 190

Congrats!!  And great pics.  Im tired of seeing deer pics in the back of truck, garage floors, back of 4 wheelers, gutted so u cant see how big the buck is.  Well done!

Yes, nice to see one taken with a flintlock and no 4 wheeler in sight.

Nice buck Wattle. You can always be counted on to get the job done. Due to health and land problems this is the third year I haven't been able to hunt. It's good to see some of the old crowd are still getting it done.
Maybe next year will be better for me.
Darkhorse.
