I'm stuck at my cabin due to flooding. Went for a walk today and this caught ,y eye. It's a hull from a buck I shot in about 1990. Big,old buck. Kinda cool remembering that time so many years ago.

I remember selling lots of them back in the day.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Very cool find! I love when something small brings the memories flooding back.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Those are some of the best slugs ever made. Yes sir. A real hammer. Memories for sure. It was opening morning and I was just leaning against a tree. I could see him walking towards me but I remember he didn't have a big rack. When he got close, I realized he was a BIG/OLD buck and killed him. My brother heard me shoot and came over. I had one of those huge video cameras that were held on the shoulder.VHSi think. He was filming me doing the gutting when I heard him whisper, look behind you. I did and there was a young buck standing watching us. Didn't even spook. Memory lane for sure.

Do still have the rack from that buck? Might be a neat thing to attach somehow...

No, I don't have the rack. It was maybe 15" wide and a 3x3 but had real good mass. Guessing he was in the 210_220# dressed .

My first buck was the same, an OLD deer that dressed 210 as I recall but only was a tall, wide fork. He had already peaked years before.

I shot my first buck second year hunting shooting those in my 20ga. I still have the rack for that little buck and still have couple of live loads in drawer on my loading bench. Those shells shot like a rifle in my old 20.
