I tracked one for a guy about 4 years ago just off the interstate along the river between Montgomery and Prattville……The guy was sitting with his girlfriend and her .243 one morning when just after daybreak “a big one”, as he described it, walked out of the woodline crossing the field broadside at about 75 yards headed to the river……He told his girlfriend to shoot it but she said she couldn’t find it in her scope…..Meanwhile, the deer is steadily walking across the field toward the river……He said he told her to shoot about three more times before finally taking the gun from her and then tries to Texas heart shoot the buck before it walks into the woods…..We tracked it up the river nearly to golf course before having to call it off. All I’m saying is……I bet if that guy could go back and do it over again he would have something else in his hands besides a .243… …. Just sayin.
