Taking my son to wife's relative's ranch north of Malta, Montana for his first mule deer hunt... Howie took us out to an area he thought might be productive.. As we peeked over the edge of a ridge, two nice mulies jumped up and ran about 50 yards before stopping and looking back.. One of them was especially nice - with a good rack and nice size.. Adam took my M70 in .264WM, took a rest on Howie's coat, laying prone.. I ranged it at 320 yards, and downhill maybe 15-20 degrees. Rifle was sighted for 250 so I told him to just aim normally.. About 5 seconds passed before the shot - and that deer dropped like he was hit with a hammer... One shot - one kill..
I was very proud of him..
