2022 Meat Pole

2022 Buck. Not big at all but lots of fight to live. Shot at 180 yards off cross sticks following along scrape line to three to convince him it was over. Second photo of two shots hitting shoulder. First was back of shoulder did not deter him much. I waited a bit and he turned headed for a creek put to and three into him. Considerable damage caused. 7mm Rem Mag 168gr. 2960fps Berger VLD Hunters. Recovered both bullets under hide after passing through both shoulders.

Why I don't hunt with Bergers. No offense and congrats on filling your tag. I see the lack or unpredictable performance of bergers way too often.
 
the best part... I do all the field dressing for everyone and didn't have one cut on my hands..
the second best part.. Kountry meats in Elk Grove makes very good teriyaki sitcks

I've been working with my dog to do tracking . I thought I saw my buck fall , but wasn't sure , it was too dark . I went home and got Sally . I put her on it and she found it . this is Sally's second find .

I have to brag on my dog a little more . this would be her first find . it was hit a little far back . we left it lay about two and a half hours before putting Sally on it . she found it easy . he was a happy hunter .

This is her first buck she has ever harvested only her second deer. She is shooting a customized savage Axis on a Boyds At-1stock and a shaw barrel extended bolt handle. In a 6.5 creedmoor shooting 140grain Hornady SST. She made a great quartering away shot at 160 yards. Only went 50 yards . This is in south West Pennsylvania.

Great photos. Enjoyed looking through everyone's success. Ate my Montana elk and deer tags this year. Disappointing, but it happens now and again. Now on to stacking up some WT does for meat.
Just ate my Arizona elk tag after burning 13 points. On way home now. That chit happens sometimes. 2018 burned 16 points on Arizona deer . Tag soup. Filled my Wy. general deer and cow elk tag. Still hae a whitetail buck and doe tag. At least I don't have to buy a third freezer. 😉
