So on on saturday i picked up my gun, went to the range and tested it out. i shot a couple times from like 50 yards and it was accurate enough for my liking, so i took it out road hunting for a couple hours cause it was raining. didnt see any bucks, just 3 does. the next morning i left a four with my buddy eric to go hunting. on the way up the mountain we saw nine doe. then we saw a bear that we chased for a while but couldnt get a shot at (he has a bear tag). after that we decides we'd hike all the way to the top and look with our binoculars for a while. well long story short we didnt have to look long once we were up at the top, we see 4 bucks on top roughly 350 yards away but a canyon seperated us. so we snuck up to the rock ledge and layed down, rested our guns, picked out the ones we wanted and pulled the trigger at about the same time. dropped em in their tracks at an estimated range of more than 250 yards, i am now more than happy with my .270. heres some pics.
after we got to em, the work began. we shot them at 12 in the afternoon and didnt get em home til one in the morning. i was starting to regret shooting a deer 9 miles up a mountain. and did i forget to mention i had to go to work the next day? or that we took a 2 hour detour cause we weren't sure where the truck was? now they are butchered and in the fridge so its worth it.

Sweet dude!! It is not very often that you see more than 1 buck at a time and even less often that you bring two home at once. The hike out with them does suck. That is why if I am very far from the vehicle then I always shoot little ones:-) Congratulations on your first buck. I am going out again tomorrow.
None of this sounds particularly fun to me, but it is apparent that you think it's a good thing, so...congratulations!
Have you eaten any yet?
Theres been large quantities of deer meat stocking our freezer, do you have anything to do with that?
What's a bear tag? They have to tag a bear so you know that it's a bear? Isn't it obvious?
Your extemely violent Justin, and should really think about taking your anger out on something other than poor, defenseless deer.
How much deer meat can one family eat?
It seems as though one deer would produce a lot of meat.
