Bickal's first Buck

[GregBickal]

Shot him Saturday about 4pm from about 150+ yards. He was on the ridge over thick brush. Sure that I missed never even checked. Sunday morning wasn't having much luck and went over to check, and found a blood trail and he jumped. I had shot him through the lung and taken out his right front leg. Tracked him about a mile and eventually he got stuck on the ice on the creek. 3 legs he wasn't going far. He looked over at me with this look like "I give up, you got me" and I took him down with another shot. 10 points but the one is only 7/8" so I guess he's a 9 pointer? rack is 17" wide at the widest. Great hunt!

Great buck and one heck of a shot with a shotgun (well outside my range anyways). Congrats on a nice harvest. What were some of the tine lengths?

Glad you decided to follow the shot up regardless if it was immediately or the next day, he would've been a tough one to lose. Lesson learned and CONGRATS!
