CouesWhitetail

yes, all with my .270. I almost brought my bow too, maybe next time. This time I wanted to make sure I took home a lot of meat, so rifle was the best for that. I was shooting the same bullet I use on Coues...130 grain hornady SST. I gotta say, I LOVE that bullet. It is so devastating that almost everything I shoot with it drops in their tracks. That buck and doe I showed above never took a step after the bullet hit. It's amazing how much shock it delivers into the animal.

Congratulations!

Exactly! That's what the point of the trip was, to load up on meat for the freezer. Alabama whitetail is quite tasty and I can't wait to try the hog. My buddy (Bubba) let me fly back since he wanted to stay some extra time, but he is hauling all the meat back in the coolers we brought out there with us. I think he got six or more deer and he shot a couple more back in Nov. So that boy has a couple freezers full now!

Just a reminder that one of our own members has made a great product that keeps your range finder secure and easily accesible. It's a great product. Simple, inexpensive, effective and made by a local guy. You can check the Range Snap out here. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/range_snap.htm

Nice job!! Love the pics and story. Congratulations on your buck and I am glad you all had such a great time.

Thanks for sharing your story...hope you get one when you get back out there! Eventually, everthing will fall into place for you.

Congratulations to you both! Awesome deer and can't wait to see your pics.

Haven't had any yet, but everyone out here tells me it is excellent. The fat isn't supposed to be good, but the meat is great so they say.
