Title: Methow bucks PIC HEAVY
Post by: H2Ofuzz on October 31, 2010, 07:28:14 AM

Well i went back home for the season and this is how the hunt worked out. I shot it at 540yds with a 300wsm and hand loads. Been practicing all summer at long range. The bullet was recovered on the offside just under the skin. Broke off side shoulder and held together great.

Nice lookin Deer...Congratulations to the both of you.  Thats a long shot.  Not sure if I would ever shoot that far though.  Kudos to you though.  Did you dump him in his tracks??

Nice bucks!  Way to practice and get it done in hunting situation with the long range shot.  Great job!

What kind of bullet was that?  Is that a Accubond?
