Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting This weekend's deer hunt

There were about 20 men today with four dachshunds looking for some white tail deer. I was waiting in my position and I didn't have to wait too long until one doe came running through the field towards me. At around 80 yards it took a turn and showed it's broadside. Took it to my crosshair and pulled the trigger. Bullet hit slightly lower than I wished but did it's work with lungs and liver. Deer bolted to near forest and after tracking the blood splashes for about 150 yards I found it lying dead. Pretty satisfied as it was still a pretty nice shot to running deer off hand from the distance.
It was a good day again for me. We got six deers today and it was nice to be one of the lucky ones.
Next weekend we start moose hunting. Can't wait.

Another successful hunt! Well done!!!! The larder is filling up!!!

very nice

You're getting pretty good at the deer thing!

That sounds like deer hunting in the southeast US.

Except for the dachsunds. That sounds like Crusoe.

Well played!

Turdus, those deer in Finland just aren't safe with you and that .30-06 on the prowl ...

Haha, I guess so. I've been extremely lucky as season started in the beginning of the september and I've got three so far. One roe deer and two whitetails. A lot better than I expected.
My rifle works exeptionally. I have shot with many rifles but this 798 just seems to work great for me. It's strange how it gives me total confidence while shooting it.
