I told ya'll I could do it. I told you it could be done. How many of ya'll doubted it? Come on now, how many of ya'll think a .45LC w/ standard Cowboy rounds is too light for whitetail deer?
I've been carryin' Sugar all week. I've got one Farm Tag for Any Deer. I've got two for Antlerless Deer. I've been sayin' all along I wouldn't shoot a little buck. I've actually seen four that I wouldn't shoot. Last night, about an hour before dark a little six pointer I had not seen before stepped out into the milo field. He turned and started grazing away from me at about 75 yards. Quarterin' away with his head down presented a pretty near certain kill shot, but I sat still. He munched on that milo for fifteen minutes sorta kinda millin' around. Then he looked back into the cul-de-sac from which he had come and put his head down and went back.
I thought an old buck might've called too him. Sure enough about ten minutes later he came strolling out. A 210 lb 10-pointer. He was headed east across the milo and up along that big east-west hedge row that forms my northern boundry. He passed right past me. I didn't have more'n two or three heart beats to decide. I shot abouit 45 yards.
Blam! Thwack! I saw him go down in the Black Powder smoke.
He couldn't have gone down any harder than if I'd shot him with a .308.
I had to shoot him with my Remmie to finish him off, but ..... That's why I was carryin' it.
Wooo! Whoo! Sugar Shot a Buck!
I got pics!
