Title: Deer down: Kahlotus late hunt
Post by: TC_outdoorsman on November 22, 2010, 03:28:29 PM: I didnt get a buck but at least I have some meat in the freezer. Saw a group of does from probably about a mile away so my dad and I double timed it to where they were headed. We werent able to get as close as I would have liked. I ranged the closest one at 186 yards and they were headed away from us. I only practiced out to 100 yards. My dad said to aim for the head (the front bead took up the whole thing). Fired away and heard a crack. The deer were standing on a rock mesa and I thought I hit the rock under it. Hiked up to where it was and could hardly believe it when I saw her piled up. I was shooting a Knight Bighorn, 110 grains pyrodex, and a 300 grain Hornaday SST in the Easy load version. The shot was from head on and the bullet went clean through the heart and out the back leg.

They make lots of inlines that are exposed to the elements.
