"...I'm mentaly drained trying to figure out why I couldn't get a shot, then here they come back, the doe, followed by the 8 point and 5 other bucks, more of the same, after the third range, and setup the 8 point finaly stood still long enough to get the scope on him, 475 yds, the 160 nosler left out at 3500 fps, doublelunged him and saw the 40 yd sprint to a pileup."

"last day of private land only antlerless season, I was setup believe it or not 15 yards from a 4 lane interstate, could see to about 600 yds, let several does walk at 400 and less, about 9:00 I saw a group walking right up the ridgeline accross from me, ranged the lead doe at 532, adjusted the scope, slid behind the rifle, at the report I saw the does offside shoulder colapse, she recoverd and got out of view. an hour later I finaly got to the spot she was standing at, she went maybe 20 yds"
