It only took me 8 years to kill a whitetail, any whitetail, spot and stalk hunting public land in western Kansas. And he’s exactly what I’ve been after all these years.

My wife made a solid hit with this buck for her first whitetail. She missed a shot earlier on a large 8 point but she settled down and made it happen on this guy. He busted off his brow guards; so only 6 scoring points but she does not care. She is really happy with the classic Texas basket and the meat going to the freezer. Next up is the doe harvests.

Firearm info - Tikka T3X Lite in 6.5 Creedmoor with an Energetic Armament Vox-S suppressor. The scope is the ATN Wraith HD; not a bad scope but it does the job easily for this. After this season the rifle is getting a glass optic again. Ammo was a Hornady 143gr ELD-X that blew out the other side as seen in the photo.

Got it done on a very warm opening day in PA (Sept 30). My biggest buck so far and first with a compound bow. I had opportunities to shoot bucks in previous years since I took up archery about 3 years ago but I wanted my first bow buck to be my biggest. I'm glad I waited. Shot him at 5 yards on my first sit on a piece of private I had got permission to hunt a month before the season started. Needless to say I found my new favorite hunting spot.
