Ok here is the story, I was staying at a flea bag motel in Loon Lake, WA just north of Spokane. We hunted around Loon Lake for 2 day and saw absolutely nothing. Every other hunter was getting up at ridiculous hours like 4 in the morning and having there morning meeting right out side our door (my dad wanted to get up and tell them we have the same amount of deer in our truck as you do which is nothing so go back to bed.)lol with every other word out of their was an F bomb my dad was not happy with having to listen to that. We very leisurely got up and got cleaned up and ate breakfast. We got on the road about 9:30 am and went about 40 miles north up around colville. Found some DNR land that look promising. We parked and got out and went down a gated logging road. We went in about a quarter a mile both my dad and i heard some deer stomping we walked a little further and jumped two does and this buck to our left. I took a shot at the buck and missed i followed it across the field and across the road up one hill and down another. Got up to the top of the next small hill after taking a few calming deep breaths, creeped over the top of the ridge started looking over the hill and saw the deer walking up a game trail heading NE angle to me. I knelt down and put one round of 325 wsm 220 grain power point right behind his left shoulder it went about 10 yards and fell over on the trail. My guess was it was about 60 to 70 yard shot. After shooting it we had to drag it out about a 1/2 mile through a drainage to the road. Yes brithunter that is a left handed browning A bolt.

Thank you for the story. We don't see so many left handed rifles and I wondered but was fairly sure as the scope turrets gave it away.
