I pushed three deer right into my friends lap.
Brent had a good steady rest for the smoke pole, and he stopped the deer at 25 yards with a soft whistle.
I was south of him about 200 yards, when I heard the 50 cal go off.
The big doe went about 50 yards and would have stayed there but Brent moved up the track and jumped her. I got there and it was not hard to find the deer about 75 yards off.
I get a kick out of getting deer moving and having someone on the other end! Its always a good day to get one of these on the ground this late in the season. We had about 1 hour in this hunt. Somedays you just get lucky!
Brent and his nice 150 lb + doe: He just got this Traditions front loader a couple weeks before Christmas. Looks like it works.
