Got a decent position laid rifle on two aces as shot was looking up to canyon wall. Shot could see the bullet hit high shoulder and buck began a dead run down the canyon and disappeared . It was dark. Waited 15 minutes went to look for him and couldn't find him. Knew hit was good so decided to come back next as temps were in the 30's at night. Next day spent 20 minutes looking for him. I started glassing and saw his tail. We walked with 15 yards of him twice. Hidden in a patch of yucca. CWD really hurt the deer populations in this region so happy with a 4x4 typical 4x4 with a big body.Guessing 260 to 280 lbs far shot to see size of body healthy, lots of fat

CWD hasn't been near the problem of the thinning deer herds there in the Goshen Hole, as the increase in population in Laramie county, the exploding populations of predators, and the proliferation of walk in areas.
the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to. www.historicshooting.com
