My life long friend Mike had never shot a deer or even deer hunted, but this year I convinced him to buy a tag.....He owns his own landscape company. So hunting hours were going to have to be in the afternoons.....This was his 1st afternoon.....Hunted a couple of canyons where I've been seeing some nice bucks......Today nothing.....Moved to a new area and instantly started seeing deer.....1 spike, but no shooters.....With about 45 minutes to go we walked down into an area that I really like.....Right off, I see a doe, then the buck....As soon as I see he's out near his ears, I tell Mike he's a shooter.....Shooting off hand and about 85 yds, he lets the Stefanie's little .243 Savage rip.....Down goes Mike's 1st deer.....I really do believe it's more exciting watching someone else pull the trigger.....I made Mike gut him.....lol.....Mike Berry Taxidermy tomorrow.
ps......Found another use for the Rinse Kit......
