Hey all, got it done! Wasn't even gonna go hunting this year, just busy, but my wonderful wife all but ordered me to buy a tag and go hunting on my birthday (today). I got a small buck (yes, despite all the inspiring photos in hunting magazines there's also SMALL bucks in Saskatchewan 
). Took the first thing I saw, i knew that this was my only day to go out probably. A happy birthday indeed.
one of the better shots I've made in a while, not crazy far but I had no rest, hit exactly where I meant to from somewhere between 300 and 350 yards shooting from standing, offhand. To me that feels like much more of an accomplishment than shooting 600 from prone with a rest.
Dropped it where it stood. Got a much needed workout dragging it through the snow by myself. Again, not much for antlers but a full bodied animal for sure. Should be tasty.
savage 111 long range hunter, 300 win mag. 225 eld m on 79 grains 8133. Single feed. Perfect performance on a beautiful day. Thankful my family owns land here in "middle of nowhere" Saskatchewan. I'm a fortunate hunter indeed.
will try posting some photos, phone is being dumb at the moment.
