My first Red Stag!

[Dishonored]

So we got to Ingram, Tx yesterday around 4:00 AM.
We slept for a little while and then went to town to buy our license.
Got back and went to the stands. I didn't see a thing but my Dad saw a stag that he knew I had wanted. I went to the same stand he was on yesterday this morning. After about 9:30 I hadn't see much so I got out and went to walking.
After 250 yards or so I saw them feeding through the bottom of the cedars! They were out of my comfortable range though. ( around 500 yards).
I changed direction because of the wind and walked all the way behind them. After what felt like hours walking lol, I had closed the distance to about 250 yards. I laid down and propped up on a nice log. Well..... I got him and here he is. My first pure Austrian red stag bull.
Here is my view from my actual stand

AND HERE HE IS!

Wear out the hogs.

Wear out the hogs.

I'm trying!! He kills them all off with his helicopter so he doesn't have many. I took a coyote last night. First time using the predator call. That was fun.

what'd you take the stag with?

 

[Dishonored]

I actually just bought this rifle. Decided I wanted a new hunting rifle.
Tikka T3 hunter in .308.
Federal Premium 165gr trophy bond. The coyote I took with the 168gr matchking. It was close to a 300yd shot on him.

Well we are gonna have a long day today!
Dad took a shot at an Audad only shot we have had since Tuesday on one. 450 yards. Hit his back leg... It was rough. Just ran up a canyon for 100 yards to even get the shot.
