Thanks for all the kind words. It felt good to knock that buck down. After I came back from Wyoming antelope I only had a couple of days to hunt Oregon blacktails before I left for Colorado. I whiffed on a really nice blactail that still stings! Maybe next year...

I started hunting with a tang safety Ruger .270 that was my grandfathers. Since then I have played with a lot of other calibers but always find myself right back where I started. I wish somebody would have convinced me that 25 years ago as I could have saved a lot of money!!
