Gun- AR-15 semiautomatic
Caliber- 7.62x39
Optic- ???? actual 4x Chinese sniper scope with a BDC reticle for x39
ammo- Handload 125grn Nosler ballistic tip @ 2470fps

Last year I used this combo to fill my doe tag out, at a range of 278yds, Then I used a Sightron 3x9x40 scope. The scope I have now will make shots even easier to place used in conjunction with my laser rangefinder

Right now my barrel is at ADCO hopefully getting about a pound of weight turned off of it, making for an even handier deer rifle

mc, this is my first whitetail doe permit. Actually, this year in Wy. I have 2 doe permits for whitetails only, 1 special any whitetail permit for eastern Wy. and a general deer tag. Usually, one can only take one buck per season, but this eastern whitetail permit is for any whitetail. By good fortune I taught a boy is school who now runs a 90,000 acre ranch in this area.  ;D ;D Otherwise it is a tough area to get permission to hunt.  :( ;D I guess all those years of low pay are finally worthwhile. The kids I taught are now the men running the ranches of Wy.  :D ;D ;)

 :D Well, on the 15th I was in a unit in North West Wy. for the opener of deer season. We saw lots of game, elk, moose, and about 40 deer. I had my long range deer rifle for much of this country long shooting across canyons is the norm. In this case I had a heavy barreled .300, but in addition, I had a Marlin 336 with a 24 in. barrel .30-30 with 150 grain Silvertips as my close range rifle. While most shot are long, there are pockets and timbered areas that close range shots are encountered. The last thing in the evening, I explored one of these. It was a burned over area.  Before entering it, I told my girl friend, these burns are suppose to be great spots, but I have never seen a deer here. I hadn't gone far when I spotted a set of antlers in the last rays of the sun.  ;D :o There were two deer, one a mature four by four. I got the crosshairs of the Burris 4x  on his rib cage, and squeezed one off. He started to step as I shot, but almost fell instead staggered, and got down over a little hill before I could shoot again. I heard a crash, on investigation, I found a big blotch of blood and a few feet farther on the buck lay. Not a monster, but a nice mature 4x4 mulie. ;)

Hit Reply.
Now look just to the right and below the white box.
"Additional Options"
Hit that.
Now a Box that says Attach:  and a little button to the right that says Browse....
Hit Browse!
this should take you to your documents and allow you to pick one and post.

The buck above was taken with a 45-70.  My first buck.  It's a lousy photo for showing it, but he had a big, heavy body (4x4 rack) and was a pain to drag through the brush back to the trail.  Perfect 45 cal. entry and 50 cent piece exit, bled him out nice and quick.
