Yep, that looks like at least one full roll of freezer paper gonna get used. Great hat on Nash. Where?

Thanks guys... Went to the Little Belts yesterday, I passed on several decent 4x4's that I'm sort of thinking now I should have shot....oh well. Maybe tomorrow will be my day.

Notched my tag yesterday, first ever birthday buck.... Went down around Sand Springs and saw this buck and a couple others dogging does in a field. Dad and I snuck up on the ridge above them, I got a rest on my pack, and decided which buck I wanted.. There was a crab claw 4x4 in the group as well, but this one had more character and and a little more width, so I stuck a 150 Ballistic Tip high in his shoulder and he dumped like a sack of taters... Definitely not a big buck, but it was a super fun hunt.. As he lay... First critter(other than p dogs) that I've shot with my 7mm-08... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/mtncurman/hunting/IMG_2833_zpsfq9zvkw8.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/mtncurman/hunting/IMG_2838_zpsiti6wxni.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg495/mtncurman/hunting/IMG_2837_zpswphixtjh.jpg) Thanks for looking...

Cool beans Ben! Glad you are liking that 7-08 in a Mountain Rifle. To me that would just about be an ideal deer rifle anytime, anywhere.

Congratulations on a fine buck but you do need a bigger hat .
