[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1890345, member: 10178"] First and right up there with the biggest body White Tail Buck I ever killed was with a open sighted Marlin 336 leaver action in 30-30 Win. 150 gr Remington HP did a number on it. I hand load 100 gr Hornady interlock bullets for my cousins Savage 99 250 Savage that has killed a train load of deer. Here is a funny story told to me by an old fellow when I lived in WV. He was out deer hunting with his Winchester 71 in 348 Winchester caliber. It had snowed about a foot the day before his hunt. While walking down an old logging road by flash light he could see a good number of fresh tracks coming from a known bedding area going down to an area with lots of oak trees. He knew the deer were feeding on the acorns and would be coming back to the bedding area about day light. He slipped off the logging road and found a big evergreen tree with limbs pretty low to the ground that would make a perfect ground blind where he could sit and watch the trail the deer would be walking back to the bedding area. He said that he thought this was the perfect place to get out of the cold snow because the branches of the evergreen tree had shielded the ground under the tree and it was dry. He said that he got set up and about 45 minutes latter just as it was starting to get light he saw movement in the woods below him. It was some deer. They proceeded to come up the trail and he could see that they were slick heads and they passed by him about 50 yards away. About 10 minutes latter he sees movement again. This time he could tell it was a buck from a good distance away because it had a HUGE rack.
