Jill would be in front of the camera with her .270 WSM and Dan would be behind the camera capturing the entire hunt on film.<br /><br />They decided to sit on a large open marsh that the deer have been visiting. 30 minutes after they sat down, Jill spotted a BIG buck about 225 yards away on the far side of the marsh. They watched him for about 20 minutes, hoping he would eventually work towards them for a closer shot. Eventually the buck started to head back into the woods, when Jill pulled the trigger and made a perfect shot. The buck dropped in his tracks!<br /><br />The mature buck has 11 points and easily weighs 300lbs on the hoof. Congrats Dan and Jill on an awesome buck and starting the 2007 Deer Season off in a Big Way!<br /><br /><a href="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/cygnetlakecamp/DSC01088.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/cygnetlakecamp/DSC01088.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><a href="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/cygnetlakecamp/JillsBuck5.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t50/cygnetlakecamp/JillsBuck5.jpg" border="0" /></a>RutJunkiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15663594960909234129noreply@blogger.com
