First deer of season

[pdk25]

Haven't had much time for deer This year, but I was able to get a few hours of hunting in this morning. They were moving and after seeing a few doe, I had a real nice buck come in period he was moving fairly rapidly and I had a narrow shooting window. I had to bleat to stop him come up but unfortunately I didn't see the smaller branch in the way and a deflection made me miss him by over a foot at 15 yd. For those that count, he was over 140. 20 minutes later or so I got the consolation prize.[attachment=1,msg2937141]

Having some venison will be good to balance out all that pork! Nice going.
