That’s a heavy beauty right there hit with a great classic cartridge!
Well done.

Not much of a story, found him with about 16 does and five other bucks all going into a three acre patch of bush in the morning, got permission and waited on him in the afternoon. Ten minutes into sitting and two doe’s and him busted out of the patch of trees with another four point in hot pursuit. They got into a larger patch of bush and I went to plan C. I circled around keeping the wind in my favour and found them again. I stalked in as close as I dared, then they worked their way in to a seventy yard broadside shot and down he went.
Sausage and jerky time!

Well done!

That’s a third generation Remington 702 30-06 manufactured in 1955 shooting Barnes 150 gr TTSX.
Still shoots 1/2 inch groups.
