Nothing too fancy here. Found this buck about hour and a half into the first morning in a secluded canyon a couple ridges over from a big bowl that holds a lot of deer, water, and feed. Bedded the buck up in some thick Cedars and left mid morning to go help a buddy pack his deer out to the road. We got back about 3 PM, set the spotting scope up and found him a couple hundred yards farther down the canyon bedded on a little bit of a rock outcropping. Winds were howling 25 to 30 in all directions. I cut across the bottom and went up the side he was on. Stayed above him and dropped down the finger past him as it seemed to present a better shot opportunity studying it through the spotting scope. Cut 1100 yards off of it and had a 237 yard Chip shot with a hard quartering 25 to 30� down slope angle. Got him gutted in the dark and came back the next morning to pack him out. Keep passing the "Ticonderogas"...

What a great deer and I really like your rig. Any details you can share on the bullet if recovered?

Yeah it did!

As far as the bullet.....It didn't exit and I never found it. Clipped the spine going in and lungs were complete mush.

Good deal. What state, Josh?

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
