Boy, did I get lucky. This is the BIGGEST  deer I have ever shot!!!! Two guys put on a drive and I heard BUCK coming and when I looked up I could see this guy running towards me. He was probably 300 yards away and stopped and looked at me at about 200 yds. BIG mistake on his part!! I shot him with the 309JDJ loaded with a Nosler 165 gr. B.T. @ 2325FPS.
I laid down on the ground since I use a Harris Bipod on the Contender and cocked the hammer, took a big deep breath and SQUEEZED the trigger. He bolted at the crack took off down the hill. Couldn't find the spot where I shot him but I found him at the bottom of a DEEP ravine in the creek. Went to gut him, but no knife, rope, no nothing left the fanny pack back at the truck. We drug him probably 100 yds UP hill and then I went and got one of the locals with a 4 wheeler to haul him the rest of the way out. He was standing facing me when I shot him and couldn't find the entrance or exit hole but the lungs were mush and I didn't have time to look when I dropped him off at the butcher.

Thanks Guys,
 I live about a hour south of Cleveland Ohio and hunt on 96 acres close to Wheeling W.V. that was my grandparents farm. I have hunted for 22 years on the farm and this is only the second buck this big that has been taken.
