Deer, not long range

[bamban]

26 Dec this showed up on the game cam, Spypoint Flex.

28 Dec it hit the ground hard. Used my shooting mat to drag it to the truck.

Details of the rifle: R700, 28 inch KBI 30-06 Serengeti chamber, SRS Ti Pro 3 ST brake, 215 Bergers coming out 2835 pushed by N560, Trijicon Tenmile. Trained quite a bit with cold bore over time off the bipod. There were days I just fire one round for confirmation then it goes back in the truck and shoot other rifles.

240 yards from the open shooting hide sandwiched between cedar trees to where it stood. Shot taken off a bipod, and shoulder, POI placed at the off switch. Bang-flop, no twitch. Not a fan of tracking, especially through the ravine between the hide and the clearing.

Nice looking setup right there!

Don't see a hole on the left... Did it sneak in there under the hair or that the heavy Berger didn't exit?

 

[bamban]

30 cal hole in, no exit

You are always such a professional. I never thought of shooting that high, but it makes so much sense to me now.
Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!

Thank you.

This is the rifle I offered to sell to you below the parts cost sometime ago when you were looking for one. I hope you found a nice shooter.

You must have some really BIG feeders there to have that Steel Cable (yellow) coating to hold it up/ But Y'all do things big in TX.
Nice Buck Congrats and a good spot to shoot them. Hits the nervous system (got some experience with spinal cords).
Nice Rig!

The yellow thingy is a guy wire for electrical pole. The spot is part of the power line clearing that went down to the ravine and up on one side. The other side went up to another hill.

Yea I know that it was for a Power Pole, Just trying to make you Texans look good with GAINT Feeders!
I saw the one small feeder there and figured that it was a bait feeder for the big one!

 

[Muddyboots]

Yep, the big one! 30-06 no prob!

Congrats! Good job keeping the torch lit for the '06 crew. Nice rig with impressive speed with that bullet weight by an '06!
