Deerzilla in my backyard
I woke up to find this out my window.
Upon further inspection:
My buddy on the PD said it got hit by a car around 11:30 last night. Couldn't find it. I don't have to go deer hunting this year....

Nice Buck!!! 6X6 OR 5X6?
I only got drawn for 3 skin heads this year. So far one down & in the freezer.
I've never shot a deer with a 22 cal before and one of the tags was in an area that only close shots could be taken. So I grabbed the Tikka .223 with 60 gr Partitians and took #1 with a neck shot at 45 yards. In retrospect I should have grabbed the hardball gun with 230 Hydroshocks.
The other two tags are in the cropland area so longer shots may be necessary. I'll drag out the 7-08 Improved and let her talk the talk.
Beautiful animal, too bad you couldn't have gotten a shot on this one. I'd hang it on the wall.
FWIW
