Indiana: Tall-Tined Shotgun Buck

Thanks to Mike Bauer, who shot this giant in Shelby Co. last week, for today’s guest blog: It had been a long season with lots of up’s and down’s. Opening day of shotgun season I shot an 11-pointer only to have the people on the neighboring property tag my buck.  I was pretty upset to say the least.  I had been hunting him since bow season opened.  I spent Thanksgiving with my family and decided late Thursday night that I was going to hunt on Friday.  My alarm went off and I kept hitting the snooze button.

Wide Virginia 8-Point Buck
