The Buckless Youper, Remnar, got his first deer this morning. I was back at the cabin putting the finishing touches on yesterday’s story when I heard a shot coming from the back of the property.  At 0715 ET Remnar radioed in he had a doe down and needed assistance at Midway. I rolled out with the truck and found he’d managed to shoot the largest button buck I’d ever seen come off the property– 92 lbs live weight.

The button was 200 yards out when he lit it up with my borrowed Kar 98, the Mauser from Hell.   That is probably the #2 distance record for the camp. The 175 grain Hornady RN double-lunged the animal cleanly.  There was no need for extensive trailing.  The shot was taken at the far edge of The Garden of Stone.

After transport, Remnar had the distinct pleasure of cleaning his first deer.  We then retired to the General Store in Lenoxburg for processing and breakfast.  SuperCore stayed behind to try for a doe at Jagendehutte.

This ends a 10-year drought for young Remnar.
