Wife's first deer.
« on: December 15, 2013, 04:44:25 PM »
I took my wife out on a depredation hunt this morning and she got a nice Doe. She made a great shot in some serious wind.

Ruger is in 25-06. Wife is super excited. Kinda cool to help someone get their first deer. She did a great job. 120 yards 25mph cross wind perfect neck shot the doe went down like a sack of taters. Meat is hanging now.

Yep. I love that rifle. I never take it anymore I'm so scared of hurting it. My wife loves it so she gets to shoot it.
