Grendel vs Texas Buck! - 81police - 11-05-2013
This is an impressive little cartridge. Shot this 8pt buck opening weekend. He was quartering towards me at 180 yards. The bullet passed through both lungs, he ran about 10 yards and folded. The exit wound was just behind his ribcage and when we gutted him dad found a small piece of jacket near his rectum!
Ammo was factory loaded Hornady 123gr SST

I think the Police is hunting on a Game Reservation with all the Trophy Hogzillas and this Buck.
Very nice, makes me want to move to Texas except those Dallas Cowboys. What part of Texas is this???

Ya, just kiddin about the Reserve part. Well Dallas Cowboys too, my wife is a Cowboys fan.
I have all kinds of deer over here in VA but not such nice coats. We don't have much fence and they roam freely between the properties. How much did yours weigh?
I got a nice 8 point buck last year, but not quite that nice. Good for VA though...the reast are all for the chops, can't eat the horns...

Congratulations! How many bucks do you have to pass up to find one that big?

I probably saw 10 different bucks over the 2.5 days of opening weekend, mostly young bucks though. I saw another mature buck that I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted, then this buck came out last morning of the hunt. So I guess to answer your question, I didn't pass up many, but was very fortunate this 8pt came my way. My first deer with the Grendel!
