Thanks! I shot him Monday at my camp in the MS delta. Nothing special about the shot (maybe 60 yds) tight behind the right shoulder and out through the left. He didn't go far but made it into a nasty swamp area and dead where he plowed in. The rifle is a Rem LTR in .308 win that I semi put together. This is the second of these in .308 I've owned-the first now living in Stevensville Montana with my nephew who believes (with good reason) that it's magic.
Huge body on this buck and it caused me to under estimate him even though he was close and I watched him for a bit. Not that it matters one iota but he doesn't have long tines but lots of mass. With a stingy tape he scores 144 1/8"
