[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 91387, member: 367"] Hey...nice buck. I had a great season here in SW PA (Armagh area)...saw a fair number of deer and filled all my tags. I hunted with my Savage Striker 7-08 (Shilen SS Match 16.75" and Burris 3-12x32 Handgun scope) for the first week and a half trying to get a 300yd shot. The load was 40gr Varget and 154gr Hornady SST at 2500fps. I was also shooting prone (in the snow!!) from a Harris and no rear rest. My first doe (on the first Wednesday) was at 238yds just to put meat in the freezer. My second (the second Monday) was at 270yds...getting impatient...both exhibited great bullet performance. The bucks just would not get moving in the pasture during daylight hours. After that I grabbed my short range gun (10" T/C .30 Herrett) and hit the thickets to get this fella. He's a decent 13pt...got him at 40yds. [img]http://photos.imageevent.com/17encore/danb/dansstuff/websize/2005%2013pt.JPG[/img] [/QUOTE]
