[QUOTE="Lyons7STW, post: 568560, member: 36853"] He has a 193 of his own on the wall and been present for the taking of several others in that class. I have never seen him excited like that before. He knew it was a really good one through the spotting scope but saw it was exceptional up close. It was exhilarating to know I was within 80 or so yards of the monster. We tried to track it and found the print. You could tell it was more like an elk print. But with a track every six inches in that draw from all those deer we couldn't stay with iit. So we are exhausted and frozen, decide to head back for lunch. We warm up, eat and decide to set up an ambush at the mouth of the draw. We find a sheltered spot about 800 yards down from the monsters original bed and wait for the deer to feed down. About ten does do just that. Last day of the season and shooting light is fading fast. With just minites left a buck steps out of the sage at 266 yards... 7mm STW speaks. Bang, Flop! To bad he wasn't the big one! Better than tag soup I suppose! [/QUOTE]
