The Swamps of South Ga!
12th Dec 2018
Late Season Brute

20 5/8" inside spread
9" G-2s & 9" G-3s

Been a long hard season for me since Sept 15th... and I am physically & mentally drained! I have over 200hrs logged in a deerstand this year. He's not my target buck... but I cry UNCLE!! The other could be dead already for all I know anyway.

Want to give a huge thanks to my good friend George (MadDogMechanic) for helping me track, drag, and load this big guy into the back of my tall lifted Chevy! You Are The Best My Friend!!! 👍

Thanks guys!
He is a nice mature deer for sure! His muzzle is very gray, and his hooves were HUGE! He also had a real long body on him too.

Jeff, neither... I shot him with rifle at about 165-170yds.

I actually got down out of my stand and sneaked aproximately 75-80yds to get a closer and clear shot on him.

What caliber ?? ..... a buddy of mine downed a big Doe in the urban/reduction zone here with his 375 H&H, he's used it in Africa and said this was the first NA game he's killed with it... the A Frame bullet dropped her on the spot ... He's back to his .243 Ruger single shot now and looking for a buck ...

Congrats on another fine whitetail. As always happy to help out a fellow hunter, I love your never say die attitude, although I know you were wearing down after a long persuit. Your hard work has paid off ! Congrats Bro.

Thank you George!

Jeff, I shot him with my Winchester 30-06
Next yr I am going to pick my Laminated Lightweight Winchester 308 back up... haven't killed a deer with it in about 10yrs, back in Ga where I'm originally from.

Even though I am primarily a BOWhunter, I really enjoy hunting deer with firearms, I do miss it at times, I wish I still had private to get on to use a good caliber .... looking at a place maybe for next season (maybe)... depends on if the owner renews the lease of the two guys on it now ...

Nice.. we used 7.62/308's as our Sniper Rifles.. M40A1's .... I was a Scout/Sniper for my USMC stint of 6 yrs .. for deer, I love the .270 Win or even better yet is the .270 Wssm ..
