Well finally... Used the Howa 1500 Stainless 24" Bbl in .300 Win Mag to bring this HOSS down!

I hunted a Buddy Stand on the lease Saturday, was suppose to go to Tennessee to duck hunt but was still feeling a head cold...
Between blowing my nose and seeing about 20 does and 5 spikes (anything less than a 8 point), I was looking for Mr. Big - either the 12 point I saw the prior year at season end or the 10 point I coul not get a 15 foot shot at during Bow Season.
The Bucks are starting to seek here is Tuscaloosa County, Alabama (I hunt in Northport, just north of T-Town)...
at 11:00 AM this Big Bodied 8 point popped out of the woods to my left, without a hesitation I aimed the Howa.300 Win Mag and hammered him!
