That a hybrid whitetail/ mule deer??? Left Front leg shot off the year prior or longer?? Looks gut shot?? You guys find it poached or something???? Ha! looks pretty brutal, huh? Here's the scoop..... Found this buck feeding on shinoak acorns. He didn't have a clue I was there at a distance of 180 yards. I was sitting on my butt, with sticks, had my Tikka 695 Whitetail wearing a Swaro A 3.5-10x44. First shot whiffed. Deer looked up from eating acorns and wondered WTH was going on. 2nd shot gut shot, deer humped up and walked a few steps. 3rd shot in the leg, deer eased away in the brush. I'm baffled at this point. Walk over to where he was, followed tracks to where he was laying up in a clump of brush where the pic was taken but he still wasn't dead so I finished him off. To make a long story short, hung up a feed bag at 100 yards and POI was 9" high and right and wouldn't adjust at all. Sent to Swarovski, erector trashed, they fixed it and I sold it. Virtually same thing happened to two more of my buddies with Swaro A's. We think they suck. You know you are blessed when you kill one like that and your gun is 9 inches high at 100, which would put it near 18 high at 180. You know you shoot like me when your gun is hitting 18 inches high at your buck and you still hit it -- in the laig.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Dad would talk about how great my stepmother could shoot, hitting all her muleys, whitetail and elk in the head.
He implored me to take her turkey hunting on their visit out to west Texas one year.
I gave her my Win 9422 mag sighted dead on at 100 and sat her by a field a flock traveled through to roost and went and watched the game that Sunday with the rancher east of Crane.
We came to pick her up at dark and she had her turkey, hit in the head at about 225 yds.
Sheesh.
