Looks really heavy horn & body, congrats.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

You did well. Waidmannsheil! A nice bit of natural art to remember your hunt by. I trust you have him hanging in a place of honour.
For what it's worth, as a local I probably had a couple hundred deer in front of me at various times this fall, not one was as good as your deer. I think the same goes for a couple years before that too. It is a very special privilege when you get to put your tag on a really good one!

Rifle started as a 700 SPS youth gun. Wears a 20" Rock Creek 1-11.25" 5R SS barrel in .308 Winchester. McMilan Remington Compact in McWoody pattern. Timney trigger set at 2.5#. Bolt Fluted in TI pattern and handle skeletonized by Kampfeld. Swarovski Z3 3x9x36mm #4a reticle in Talley UL rings. Cerakoted in graphite black. Bat trigger guard. Put together by Robert Gradous.
Load is a 150g Nosler Accubond using Federal cases, Federal 210M primers, 45.5g IMR 4895 powder. Approx 2830 fps. Shoots about 5/8" groups.
That explains it. We all know a 308 can't do something like that WITHOUT ALL the CUSTOMIZATION.   Very Nice Jerry

Congrats!
That is a place high on my hunting "to do" list. My grandmother homesteaded there about 1907 and lived in a sod house!
