So I'm watching squirrels and listening and I think I hear one walking......crunch, crunch, crunch...ya'll know the sound.

I'm thinking its coming from behind me and to the right so I shift a little, and watch. Suddenly I hear some movement to my left and I glance over and see this buck grubbing acorns.

It was behind a limb and was quartered away. I brought the shotgun up and shot. Sumbitch never looked up the whole time. I shot, it fell over, it did kick once and wheeze.

My Browning is a smoothbore with a rifled choke tube but I use Foster type slugs( all I got). I can keep the groupings fairly tight up to 50 yards. At the stand, the furthest shot I have is 42 yards.

Maybe next year I'll try some of those sabots.
