Good job, .308sniper!  You are one up on me.  What are the specifics:  gun, ammo, range, conditions, who were you with, etc.?

sorry meant to get to that.lol. I was shooting my remington model 7 in 308 with a 165 sst with I think 44 grains of varget. I was in one of my dad and I's friends stands which overlooks a field but has 10-15 feet of brush behind it. And a group was making their way thru the brush and this one stopped for a second too long.

Congrats 308.  Now you have some memories to go with your suppers of venison this winter.  Well done.

Does are just as wary and difficult to kill as are bucks.  Sometimes it seems that all you do on stand is "pay dues".  Many hunters get nothing for their effort.  When you fill a tag it's a good time to brag. Congratulations.

Congrats!!! Your first is always special. And like others have said, meat in the freezer is the most important part of success.

Good job. I'll never forget my first one. Think I got about 5 #s of burger she was so small.
