Since i'm 15, yesterday evening was the last hunt of my last youth hunt ,and boy was it a good one. At 2:30 me and my trusty 25-06 sat down on the edge of a field where I had seen some good rubs and scrapes while scouting. I had a good north wind in my face, and was going to have a little over a half moon that night. So, at 3:30 I saw this buck come out in the field about 150 yards in front of me. I put him in my scope to make sure he was a buck worth taking. Then, after he lifted his head up, I got a rest on the tree right in front of where I was sitting, slipped off the safety, and squeezed off the trigger. When I shot him, he was quartering to me, and the bullet went in to the right of his left sholder and came out right behind his right. He bucked up, ran 40 yards out in the field and plowed the ground. I also shot a doe with my rifle during a doe only season, I think that was two weeks ago.

That is one nice buck. I didn't know the 25_06 was legal for deer. I am going to have to look at the regs then go to the gun cabinet. Give me more range than my 12 gauge for sure.
Congrats on a great buck!!! Now you gotta top it next year!!!

Bodeen, he lives in Arkansas. 25-06 not legal in this state. Well no, now I'm second guessing myself. Maybe if it's fired from a pistol, maybe. Not legal from a rifle for sure.
