Yesterday morning, first day of my Roe deer hunt, I popped this one at about 130 yds. He was standing, watching me, angled slightly towards me and jumped as I squeezed the trigger. The bullet hit him a bit farther back and higher than I intended. But it worked out fine. The spinal cord was severed and he dropped immediately. He was an old fellow, with good mass and height. RJ

rj308;
Good morning to you sir, I trust that as well as a fine hunt that all other aspects of your life are going well today.

Thanks for sharing the photos and hunt story and congratulations on the interesting buck.

I know less than nothing about roe deer, but my goodness that little fellow has big bases! cool

Thanks again and all the best to you in your remaining hunts this year.

Dwayne

Nice! Factory loads or hand loads?


Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I like the flowers in the picture. Is that a tradition?

Trystan, I use RWS factory 140 grain loads in that Swede. The bullet is their "DK Twin-Core, very similar to the Nosler partition. This load shoots 1/2 to 3/4" in my A-Bolt.

Kingston, Yes, Romanians are pretty big on tradition when it comes to hunting. RJ
