This is Bailey's first whitetail. She has been hunting with me since she was 8 years old and has killed a blackbuck, axis, impala, blesbok and a black bear, but has never had a decent chance at a whitetail. Finally, at 20 years old and home from college for Thanksgiving break we slipped out for an afternoon hunt. I had seen this buck every afternoon for the past 3 days and hoped he would show up again. He did and she closed the deal with my Winchester M-70 topped with Khales 3x9 and shooting Hornady 165 grain factory Interbonds. The shot was about 75 yards broadside and she put the bullet through the lungs and top of the heart. She did most of the field dressing herself, but had dear old Dad pack the beast up a steep river bank back to the truck.

Great stuff!

The rifle has a factory stock with pillar bedding that was primed when I bought it and I have never painted it. It is a 30.06 and has been used to shoot a pile of deer and similar game over the years. It has taken a beating in Sonora Mexico the past few years, but has never needed an adjustment to the scope as long as I don't switch ammo. I normally wouldn't take it as a gun for my girls as they are both in the "toy" class of women being under 5 feet tall and weighing less than 100 pounds, but the rifle is very accurate and the shot was from an enclosed box blind.
