I made the dumbest shot ever with a 35 Whelen.

Whilst calling, a smallish bull came out of a deep ditch full of alders right in front of me at very close range. I clocked him behind the ear with a 250gr Speer from a 7600. It knocked him flying right back down into that deep ditch full of alders. We had one tough time getting him out of there. If I'd let him walk ten feet the other way onto the woods road, we could have loaded him right onto a trailer right there, but no .......... smile
