Well the deer gods shined on me again today! This nice 5x4 came down the ridge chasing does at 430 pm this afternoon and wouldn't stop. After many zig zags, ups and downs, and close calls he came back into view. When big rascal finally did stop.....as many of you deer hunters can attest to his stopping point was in a area where his vitals were covered by trees. I knew this deer was not going to stick around long so I took the only shot I had......The neck. The 300 WSM bullet was dead on at 65 yards and he dropped in his tracks. The exit hole in the cape might be a obstacle for the taxidermist, but better safe than sorry!
The boys and I had a great hunt!
