We made another trip to the lease this past weekend. The forecast called for much cooler weather and a north wind so we would be able to hunt from the box blind.
With us hunting out of the box blind it meant she could hunt with her 6.5-06 Colombian mauser. I have it loaded pretty hot with 130gr Sierra HPBT moving at 3100 fps. It was pretty much a chip shot compared to her last shot 114yds.
After the feeder went off the deer started coming in from every where...5 small bucks and 2 doe with button buck fawns. We were looking for a particular spike buck, but he was a no show. Then a late arrival, a lone doe that was noyt in too good of shape compared to the rest of the deer we were watching. It was late so I gave her the green light!
Not a bang flop like the buck, but she ran about 15yds before she folded. The shot placement about as perfect as you could have ask for, the HPBT made a nice exit hole had she ran any distance.
