way too easy...
« on: December 06, 2009, 05:33:56 PM »
I went out to check out a farm I haven't hunted this year and this guy shows up chasing a doe less than 5 minutes after I got there...the 168 gr AMAX was picture perfect under the offside shoulder after a 175 yd shot. I had to take the pic in the backyard at home, as "I was just scouting" and left my camera at home.
160# live weight, 14" spread, 3" brows, 10 G2's, and 6" and 8" G3's.

 Nice job! Almost feel bad for you, having to work that hard. ;)

Terrific shot placement at 175 yards and no exit wound (recovered bullet).  What caliber?  Would have made tracking a less lethal shot much more difficult.  Something to consider when the next "Bull Elephant" wanders into your hunting field.  I think you should consider this one a "Gift" as I am sure you know that THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME is just isn't like this...but when it is, it is SO SWEET!

.308 Win.

If I shoot thru the ribs, I have yet to see one fail to penetrate. When I shoot thru both shoulders, I have recovered two bullets, but neither of those needed tracking, as they were DRT... I'd rather not have to track.

Like you, I do not want to track.  My land is surrounded by some of the thickest palmetto and palm.  Finding anything in there without a good blood trail is lost.

The buck is beautiful.  But, what happened to the guy that was chasing the doe? LOL
