8 pt with the Bruton
« 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
