Well just like that 3rd rifle has ended for me. Theres been lots of emotions this week lots of ups and downs. I saw the buck of a life time and couldn't get the shot off in time, i pass on 4 or 5 smaller bucks and just when things impossible the good lord sent me a beautiful 4x4 buck off in the distance and after a quick conversation with my buddy Cameron the race was on and it was a race against time. Shooting light was quickly coming to and end and with 10 mins left of light we made the rush to get into a good range to shoot. A doe spotted us and I thought everything was over...the buck was too busy chasing other does around and gave me a great opportunity for a frontal shot so I got down on my rifle and pulled the trigger and nothing happened haha I forgot to rack a round into the chamber....then he gave me another shot broadside shot at 250 yards and as I went to shoot a doe crossed in front of him which made me wait, once the doe passed her quarter turned away from me and I let it fly...he tumbled down the hill and the hunt was over. I could have done this without the help of Cameron who helped me seal the deal last night, and I also owe a thank you to corey for helping me last night and finding me a place to take my deer.... Tricer thanks to your amazing bipod I was able to deploy the legs and get on target and harvest a beautiful buck...I definitely recommend their bi pod super easy to use. I also need to say thank you to rich over at high tech customs for the amazing rifle build, she shot like a dream. I met quite a few good people out on this hunt who all offered to help my crippled self out if I had shot a deer. Just goes to show there are still good people in the world.
PS- I wish I would have had my favorite Muley Freak hat for this hunt. Would have made it more perfect.
