Gary's "Warren
Sapp" deer. It was 247-lbs. dressed. Wow. |
Gary's 9-pointer was
taken at 8am on opening day, along with a nice doe
minutes later. |

from about 250 yards, and possibly more. |

Tony's 7-point buck,
taken from 450 yards, 20-feet high in a tree stand.
I got low on the stand and shot off the rail. |
This buck took one
shot in the spine to anchor it, and a 2nd shot at
just over 1 Mil elevation in the neck to put it down. |

Tony does not recommend
shooting a deer from 450 yards unless you have had
lots of practice. |
