I passed up a buck on opening day, and then had several days without having a shot at anything.
Then this guy walked through this morning.
8 point, taken with a Marlin 30-30

Good shot and beautiful buck. Enjoy the meat it provides and maybe a new trophy on the wall for the story and memories. thank you for reminding people the 30-30 is a useful cartridge
Nice rifle! Love it
A beast, well done. Special to be able to take a beautiful creature like that and feed yourself and your family with true organic meat.
Well, there is a bit of a feeling of sadness for taking the life of a beautiful animal. But it is outweighed by a feeling of pride and gratitude.
Pride in my prowess and skill in moving quietly and shooting accurately, in testing myself against a creature that has senses much keener than my own. Pride that I can secure meat for myself and my family. Gratitude that I have the ability and means to hunt, and land on which to do so. And gratitude that the deer was created for the purpose of providing sustenance for man.
Nice job!!!
Nice. I prefer a feral sow or a yearling doe.
