We went out yesterday afternoon and got a look at a few doe and a small buck that we couldnt get a shot at (one of those walking through the trees, one small clearing scenarios) the deer took off and we had no shot.
We gave up and were headed down the mountain and saw some deer headed up a hill. It was about 4:30-5:00 and still light so we decided to follow them up and see if they had any bucks hanging around them.
Runfiverun looked over and saw two deer up by themselves so we skirted around some trees and they were both bucks. The bigger off the two took off immediately. But I got a shot at the smaller one. Hit him and he jumped, were thinking oh it's dead, nope, shot it again in the leg (whoops) it went down. We walk up and it doesnt run, naturally we think it's dead. It goes to jump, dad opens his knife to finish it and it gets up and takes off, that thing was not looking for a knife fight.
I shot it again and it died (finally). It was about dark so we gutted it out and had to go back for it this morning.
Little 2x2
Shot with 7x57 ruger tank safety.
Runfiverun can tell you about the boolit.
