Not much to tell. Was headed to the airport to fly the boss around 1130. He texted me and said he was canceling his flight. I turned around and headed home. It was pouring down rain. As I pulled into the driveway I looked at my hunting app on the phone and it said best time to hunt that day was 2:15 till 4:58 pm. I took care of a few things around the house and was in the stand at 2:10. Got myself situated and started glossing my food plots that had been underwater just a few weeks prior due to hurricane Florence. Wasn't in the stand 10 minutes when this cull buck walked out. I had asked my son in law to shoot it if he saw it but I had first crack at it. 112 yards. Used the Emcore pro hunter I won at the old HHI antelope hunt that Gregg Richter use to run. It's a 308 barrel topped with TCs 2x7 scope in a rain base. Sent this gun to SSK after winning it and JD did a trigger job the Tyson base and muzzle break. Very accurate gun. Ammo was Hornadys custom loads 150 SST. One shot left shoulder round did not exit and it was DRT. I had it to the game processor near my home 45 mins after it fell. Waiting on bear season now. I have a 500 lb + black bear that frequents my property. Hoping to take him with my JRH custom 475 linebaugh. Thank you once again James for posting the pics for me.
