Yes sir, the rifle is a 6.5 Creedmoor that I bought from one of the fire faithful.
Action - Remington 700 C series short action
Barrel - Hart #2 stainless 24" 1-8 twist
Stock - McMillian remington classic ADL 13.5 lop 50/50 black and orange!
I hit him with a 143 grain Hornady ELD-X and he didn't take a step. The load was built by a guy near Dallas named Chad who does this for a living.
As for the chiggers you sir are correct but I have a secret weapon. I dust my pant's legs litely with a little sulfur and they never touch me. To get away with this you must keep your wind right when hunting!
