Jwall,
Don't fret, I have no desire to win the dink contest with Bob's or any of my rifles. ... however letting them grow to at least representative size is more interesting on this end.
Thank You Battue. Jerry

Great original thread and great outcome. Nice job Battue on a real woods Fall experience. Bob would be proud to be attached to something like this.
I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......

Again, thanks to all. It will go on the wall, but it will be a European mount.

Today it came together and more so than could have ever been imagined. Had already still hunted for 3 hours-bounced 6 out of their beds-and then hooked up with the Bud who shot the one pictured yesterday said, "You want me to push out that little thicket?" "Ya. let's do it." 30minutes or so later 4 Does and this guy came running out at around 50yards. Got on him and finally was running the cross hairs in sync. He hit an opening and I hit the trigger. Saw him hunch in the scope and figured I hit middle on my side with a little angle on the other. Got another off to no effect. Went up and found hair and blood and the further I went the more there was. He made it perhaps 60 yards before going down. I think Bob would approve of the shot. Not much else to say. It happened quick and there wasn't any time to think about it. I hunted every day, saw many Deer, and this was the fourth Buck. CONGRATULATIONS!
