After guiding my daughter to her first deer, a nice 8 point buck here in Alabama (see separate post "My Daughter's First Deer), I have been hunting in Tennessee. We are seeing a lot of deer and I have passed up several smaller bucks. Finally, I had this large bodied buck slip past my stand in some dense cedars. The rack is not especially large, but when I got a good look at his body I knew I should shoot this deer. He went about 20 yards after I hit him with the .243 at 40 yards.



Below is a photo of my second Tenn buck this year taken last Saturday.

Sometimes it is not about antlers but filling the freezer with venison! Nice buck.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Very nice! Is Tennessee a good place overall for whitetails?

Tennessee has a lot of deer as evidenced by the liberal season and bag limit... bow season opens Sept. 23 and gun season runs until Jan. 6, limit is 3 bucks a year (no more than one a day) and 3 does a day (no yearly limit).

There are some big bucks killed each year... just not by me. Confused
