It was the first deer of the day to be seen. Hunting from Nd elevated box blind that is positioned at the end of a natural bottleneck between two swaps on top of the ridgeline. The buck came through slow and steady and stopped broadside at 35 yards giving Hugh the perfect opportunity for a shot with his Henry 44 mag. He hit him higher up but with a double lung shot and bullet fragmentation clipping the spine. This beautiful buck dropped instantly and expired in seconds. This is Hugh’s first deer.
