Got lucky on a nice buck Friday morning! He was chasing after a doe and 2 smaller bucks!! I had carried my ar10 in 308 all season but changed to my 300 Weatherby mag to change my luck, and it worked!!

Weatherby Vanguard SS with brake
Nikon 3-9x40, leupold mounts/rings
180 gr Remington Coreloks.... Deadliest mushroom in the woods!
20 yd shot

Damn! That's a nice deer. Mine was just a little 8-pointer, but I got a pretty clean kill.

(.338 Win Mag at 30 yards through the left shoulder and top of the heart. DRT!)

Nice one, Brad.

Are you going to feed him to your bugs?

I must say-this is in the running for post of the year (missouri HTF).

You post great pictures along with a description of your firearm and equipment used (specs) and a good story to go along with. Not a lot of filler or fluff.

Here's to you! Great buck.

I'm with Slug-O. That monster looks like a moose to me. Is moose good eats too? And what's the plural of moose?

Man! That buck is a hoss! Nice! What county did he come from?

I shot a big old doe last night right at dark. Coincidentally, I also used a Weatherby Vangard, but in .30-06.
They don't go very far when you sever their jugular with a 165 gr. soft point.
