This is the first big buck I've shot in roughly 7 to 8 years. We have problems with our neighbors leasing their land out and the leasee tend to shoot anything that walks.
This was on opening day of rifle season. I went out with my brother and sat on some hay bales. The spot we went to hasn't ever been a good spot for big bucks but perfect for does.
Well we sat there spotting and chatting back and forth watching the does come and go. When out came this big guy chasing hard at 900 yards.
By the time I got my rifle set up and ready I couldnt see him anymore. I went to the other side of the hay bales expecting him to be gone.
As I looked around the hay bales hope quickly fading thinking hes gone or the shooting light will be gone before he shows back up.
He popped out of the grass 100 yards in front of me with 2 does. I dropped my rifle into the tripod slapped a mag in and the does stopped in their track. Which in turn made him stop.
Fired off the first round good hit in the heart. He ran about 20 yards and stopped getting ready to fall. I followed up with a second round just to be on the safe side with a double lung shot.
It was a great hunting season and I couldnt be happier on a side note thou berger 130 otm tacticals out of a 6.5 do not do enough damage at 100 yards.
