First deer with new DT
-
Just wanted to share some pics of my first whitetail taken with my DT Greg and Travis put together for me. Definitely not the biggest buck I’ve taken but a decent north Ga deer.
Thanks guys, it’s great when a hunt comes together.

Awesome! Now we need more details! Cartridge, distance, etc...

Very cool. That rack is so DARK!!! What the heck he been rubbing on?

22” 7LRM barrel, only about an 80 yard shot as I was hunting in some open hardwoods. Shot him square in the chest so no exit, the 180 Berger Hybrid made a mess internally, however he did run about 40 yds!
This guy was tending a doe and watched him fight off 2 smaller bucks earlier before I could get a clean shot.
The chocolate racks are pretty common on the lease we have, supplement all year with minerals so I’m diet is one reason for the darker rack but I believe it’s just in the gene pool.

Crazy that it ran with a frontal shot like that. How far did the bullet make it? Was hunting with the DT everything you hoped it would be?
-
Heart and lungs were just gelatin, frags everywhere, never made it to the guts. Never found the jacket, just amazed he ran that far.
For the type hunting I do I love the DT. Usually got a 1/4 mile hike in, then sit in a stand. I would probably want some lighter weight if I were at 10000 ft hiking up mountains.
I use a low drag bag and it’s very tolerable. The weight actually makes my shots more steady, even in off hand shots. So yes the DT is everything I would have hoped for!
