[QUOTE="EricM, post: 870343, member: 71224"] Last, I really wanted to use a BRNO 602 375 H&H... I've shot this rifle extensively on the bench obtaining nice little groups. This wasn't a tough shot, at about 100 yards, but I rushed it and got into a kneeling position, creeping forward on the scope. I gut shot him with a 260 grain Accubond, and got scoped. He ran a short distance, I missed a few shots, clearing blood from my face, until I connected with a high shoulder shot. He dropped like a stone, with a big puff of hair exploding out behind him. The exit wound was massive. I should have done things differently in retrospect... I could have gotten into a much more stable position before I fired (laying prone setting the rifle over my pack), which would have upped the odds of putting him down cleanly without getting scoped. There was also no need for this kind of firepower, obviously. He was a beautiful buck with nice color and symmetry.

This was my 2nd big game hunt ever, and I loved every moment of it. [img]http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss275/ebm1973/IMG_6403_zpsb2c46158.jpg[/img] Eric [/QUOTE]
