Ontario 8 point whitetail

[Morel_Hunter]

Well my hunting season ended after hunting for only about 1/2 an hour at my Uncle's place in the Lanark Highlands. Spotted this nice 8 pointer while still hunting through the maple bush. Dropped him on the spot with a 130gr Barnes TSX .270 handload from about 50 yards shooting offhand. Bullet impacted on the neck, & took out the spine. I was very impressed by the performance of the TSX bullet. Tiny entry hole, massive exit wound. Kind of disappointed that I didn't get to do any calling, but there is always next season to look forward to.

Hi Dave,

Yeah I was pretty pleased with that buck, just disappointed my season ended so quickly. My ideal hunt would be to hunt hard & get my deer on the last day :) . That gives me lots of hunting time, which I just didn't get to do last season.
I am really looking forward to our Fall season. I just built 2 homebrewed trail cams, & want to set one out on my bear bait site, & the other on the property where I hunt deer. Here are a couple of pictures of my homemade trail cam. I mod'ed a Sony P32 digital camera, in a Pelican 1020 waterproof case.
