I posted about the 260 Rem that I sold to my uncle and I bought it back from him on Wednesday. He has stage 4 cancer and has held on for 3 years. His time is running out so he asked if I wanted the Ruger back. Well, duh, yes I do.

Today was the opener for Wisconsin. Foggy to say the least. Visibility was about 100 yards, past that and you were guess as to what deer, horns or no, was in front of you. I had binoculars with so this really helped alot.

I saw 1 small buck at legal shooting light and a baldy 5 minutes later. I watched the fog roll through and took in the landscape. 45 minutes later I see a figure of a deer at about 200 yards. It stopped lowered it's head and looked forward then moved. I brought up the binoculars and threw them back down. The tine length was good so I grabbed the 260 with mojo and threw it up on the shooting sticks. Squeezed the trigger well and hit the buck in the left shoulder where I was aiming. He ran off into the woods. I followed him up and put a finisher in him. Okay, there is more to it than that but that story would be another thread and it would be looong!

Here is the happy ending.
