Wife would not shoot until......

[Whokalouie]

She would not load her LK-93 until she saw a nice 4x4 WT buck (10 point to you eastern folks). She passed on a nice one Thanksgiving morning and since then has been watching for him. Sure enough yesterday he was spotted about a half mile away between two small draws. Yep, time to load up and away she went as I watched through the spotting scope. I prefer 68 degrees and not the 19 it was outside. lol I saw smoke and the buck run over an embankment towards the jungle by a creek. Dang, now I had to get dressed, hook trailer to ATV and go to the rescue. Buck went 60 yards and piled up in some vines. My wife made a good 95 yard heart shot while the buck was walking. It appears to be the one she refused to shoot Thanksgiving morning.
Sorry for no pictures, but if I was smart enough to post them I would be rich, retired, have servants etc.

Congrats to your wife!
Us easterners are horrible at math. All this time we thought 4+4 was 8.
That is, unless you forgot to mention it had brow tines in addition to the 4 points on each side.. Hmmmmmm?

Congrats to your old lady. Now go ask her to put some pics up for us. We're all anxiously waiting to check our 1st grade math. Picture style mathematics. Lol congrats buddy

Yep, I may have goofed by claiming a 4x4 was a 10 point eastern, I thought it would be assumed it had eye guards. Just like I forgot the second 0 in shoot and had shot. Dummkopf me. Like I said, posting pictures is over my head, just like when I try to put square pegs in round holes.
I can email pictures to anyone willing to post the pictures.

Holy Hanna, what a jungle to have a deer die in. I'm assuming it ran a bit and went there either to hide or slid into it. And its a beauty! Congrats to the Mrs.!

Yep Mr Tom, she shot the buck in a flat above the steep bank and it looked like he cashed in his chips at the top and slid into the vines. I forgot to mention my wife pulled him out of there and slid him in the trailer. We took the buck to a spot where we could see coyotes from the house and she field dressed it there. She did the skinning too since my knife holding hand has not been working for a year. Today she has the head cooking in a pot (in the barn) and will make another euro mount.

That there’s a keeper Louie! The deer is great, too.

 

[Hatchet Jack]

Glad you got the pictures posted. Good looking buck. Very even rack. Will she be having it mounted. A good taxidermist can rebuild that broken brow tine.

Hatchet Jack,
She has been making euro mounts for several years now and has a pile five feet high, no room for another mount on wall. She already has a bigger one mounted that has dual eye guards on each side. That is why she refuses to shoot "piss bucks"
