Meeting up with a group to do some drives at 9 am. I was out Wed. and Thurs. and had no shooting opportunities. It was really fun out there Wed. with the hard wet snow.
The RMC scored a button buck from 80 yards today. Hornady xtp .452 300 grains pushed by 80 grains Goex 3f. It was a pretty poor shot as I spined it near the hind quarters; not sure if it moved or I put a poor shot on it. Anyway it went straight down but after a few min. it still wasn't dead so I put a sub load into it. Those 300 grain xtp's really drop em fast.
Seen a total of a dozen deer in 4 seperate occasions.No shots takin.I ambushed the last 5 gettin set up for evening hunt.Had one broadside for over 10 minutes at a little over 100 yds.It was not a safe shot,to close to a neighbors home and property.
