The first blood I made with my .54 caliber Mountain Stalker (Bobcat)was a white tail deer at just under 40 yards. I had practiced with that rifle until I was really sure I could hit anything I wanted out to 70 yards. (I figured no use shooting further then that because where I hunt 50 yards was the maxium distance I could see anyway.) I was up in the tree and it was getting late afternoon with the sun setting. About then I heard deer coming down the trail. I told myself, I will only shoot if it is a big deer and a perfect broadside shot. Well, out walked a very large (and I mean really big) doe. Since this was the doe season, I watched her come closer. At 40 yards she stopped broadside and started that leg stomping stuff. I was sure she had not winded me, but I was looking over the sights at her. I had the hammer back and was all lined up. About then I realized I had fired. She took about four steps and dropped in her tracks. After that I just started filling tags with the rifle during the season. I ended up taking two more and then decided I had enough venison for the season so I stopped hunting for meat. I then went after RACKS!
