Congrats! I'm impressed by you guys that get it done with shotguns during modern firearms season. What was your strategy?

Well hunting in a firearm restricted area makes things a lot easier haha

I’m this scenario I just went to place where there was too many deer so I think the weapon was pretty irrelevant.

Well done! I hope you get him mounted! The first one should at least get a German plaque

I’m loosely trying an at-home euro mount. Would’ve done the German but I don’t have the space for it

Just curious, was it a 3pt minimum? What did you use to confirm the points if so? Had trouble determining if a deer I was looking at had a 3rd point until he turned and walked closer to me. That was with a 3-9 scope and 10x binos.

No, not a 3 pt minimum. I don’t think he would be legal if it was 3 pts minimum because that 3rd on the right side is less than an inch.
