Took my wife out deer hunting this afternoon. We decided to head higher up to see if we could glass up some mule deer. No luck glassing but saw some beautiful country. We stumbled onto this buck and she shot him right behind the shoulder at about 100 yds. She shoots a Remington 700 stainless in 300wsm. Bullet was 180 gr Sierra Gameking, I know they aren't suppose to kill. At the shot the buck kicked his legs and ran straight down into the canyon 4-500 yds. He did die on the only flat spot, so that was nice for the quartering job. Blood trail was easy to follow he was spraying out both holes. 5 hours later she is still grinning. This was her biggest buck, so far. ![[Linked Image]](http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x139/bigswede358/2015-11-01%2013.51.20.jpg)

She's a good woman to shoot a 300! Nice shot. Thanks. That 300 is her lucky rifle. She has killed a pile of deer with it, her one cow elk, black bear, and a big shiras moose last year. I bought her a 7mm-08, she killed 3 deer with it, but thought the caliber was too wimpy so we sent it down the road.

Tell her congrats for me, too. Nice deer.
I shot a 300 WSM for years and have killed a truckload of deer and elk with it. The recoil isn't unmanageable at all. With any bullet, it'll be about 200 fps faster than a 30-06 and just slightly under a 300 Mag. I switched to a 30-06 simply because I went to a lighter weight gun. After well over 10 years of shooting the 300, I can honestly say that I never shot an animal that couldn't have been taken just as well with a 30-06.

Nice buck. Rough looking spot there. Is it all steep and rocky?
