[QUOTE="tjbill, post: 327185, member: 5502"] This is actually the opposite of "long range" but here goes...Work has been pretty hectic and I this was only my second day to hunt and it would be my last available day in the general season. I went into a small clear cut that my wife's cousin had told me they had seen some does and a small spike the day before. I eased out the skid road between the timber and clearcut and just about the end of the road I saw this nice buck about 25 yards away. I watched throught the scope and made sure he had at least two points (legal requirement) and eased back down his neck to just in front of his shoulder and squeezed the trigger on my Kimber 300WSM. The 180 AB went through his neck, broke the front opposite shoulder and came to rest just under the skin. He never knew I was there and hit the ground dead. This is by far my best blacktail and the pictures don't do him justice. He has great bladed eyeguards, which is rare for a blacktail and thick gnarly bases with a lot of junk. The hair between his bases had bark chips, so he was obviously beginning to rut. It was a very good morning!
