sweet buck good work. did you take a pic of his teeth?

I should have, but I didn't I'm doing the Euro right now. I'm sure the gums are already peeled back and won't be quite as dramatic.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

I can definitely smell what he could smell like. Luckily he wasn't quite that stinky yet.

That buck is a stud!

What combo did you use on him?

7mm Rem Mag - 145 LRX pushed by 63gr IMR4831. It sure does the trick!

Yes, indeed. Running the 145LRX out of the AI with 60gr RL23 @ 3090. Love that bullet.
