[QUOTE="Down Under Hunter, post: 329274, member: 8486"] The hunting year in Aus has just about wrapped up, but I have been working a local group of sambar for the last 5 weeks.. Tonite it came together. Sneaking into position at 7 pm things had been quiet until just after 8 when a hind walked into view from behind me. Scanning back , I couldn't see anything else following so I kept looking. Ten minutes later I saw all tha kangaroos put their heads up and a chorus of crows start up. Looking back I saw something amazing.. This mature stag trotting down the hill with 4 crows harassing him. The stag was swinging his antlers at the birds and bristled up.. Obviously annoyed.. Down the hill he came at a fast walk so I dialled in the conditions. 28.66 BP 77 deg 67 % RH .98 downhill COS Up 9.25 minutes with no wind I settled in and waited another 7- 8 minutes for the deer to get broadside. With little light left he came broadside.. Then I said quietly " Send It " ! ( very SC like !!) Boooom whoooosh ! SMACK !!! Perfect right on the point of the shoulder and he goes down like a lightening bolt !! Very happy indeed ! [IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/huntinghellsaroarin/DSC05022.jpg[/IMG] [A nice solid head with massive bases. The 300 SMK just smashed through the shoulder blades throwing bones and creating a huge wound channel typical of what I have seen on past kills. The bullet was under the skin on the offside shoulder. [IMG]http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/huntinghellsaroarin/DSC05004-1.jpg[/IMG] A massive long deer indeed . What I had was a huge Sambar stag with a heavy 26 " head with great bases and mass. A very nice way to finish the year. Go the EDGE ! DUH [/QUOTE]
