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

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.
