HI, Doc why don't you start a thread for pics of deer killed with a 87-grain Speer Hot-Cor? In the mean time here is another example.

That's what I was thinking with the gray muzzle. Congrats roundoak. The occasional "easy one" is payback for paying your dues.

Great deer once again, I am always impressed by the size and numbers of big bucks you have over there.

Very nice deer, and an even cooler story. Congrats. That's why I always keep a rifle handy during deer season. I was hauling tobacco from the barn to the stripping room many years ago, and happened to see a buck after a doe crossing a field. Of course I had the 270 in the truck, and I ended my season then and there.
