My Buck Commander

(Little Valley, NY)

I picked up this deer on trail camera photos September 4th, a few during daylight hours, but mostly at night. Never getting a visual all of archery season, opening day morning of firearms season at 8:00a.m. he came charging out of some pines. He stopped 20 yards from my stand and turned and looks back to where he came.

My 30-06 and Remington Core Lokt bullet made the connection. Inside spread was 20 inches, tallest tine was 10.5". State land can produce some big bucks if you let the little ones go....
