[QUOTE="JRS3, post: 2446001, member: 34957"] I shot a MD buck at 150 yards in open sage. He stood up and all I could see was his neck and head, staring at me. I was on a bipod, locked in, shooting a .257 WBY with 100gr TTSXs. I had a relaxed, sold rest and took the shot, just under the white patch. He dropped instantly and I saw 4 feet sticking straight up. I unloaded, took five minutes or so to get my stuff together, then walked over to him. He was nowhere to be found. I was second guessing the distance and after about 15 mins of looking was convinced I was in the wrong spot. I heard a shot in the distance, then my hunting buddy called me. He asked did I shoot a “x” style buck. I agreed, then he said you hit him in the neck below the white patch, right? I asked, how did you know that? He replied, I got your buck. He came slipping through, over the ridge, with blood running down his neck so he finished him off. It was my buck. The shot had nicked the spine and not done much damage. If that story hadn’t unfolded the way it did, I would be here speechless and no explanation of what transpired. [/QUOTE]
