[QUOTE="DakotaRingo, post: 3091672, member: 129457"] During my 3rd tour in Germany, as a licensed Jäger (hunter), at winter Jäger competition, I loaned my 222Rem to a Jägermeister to use instead of his triple barrel 2x16 ga Shotgun & 97x something cannon/rifle Drilling. Cursing because he had never gotten more than a bronze score in 30 years with this gun but lots of game. After he shot silver, 2 points from gold medal, with 222, he says, " come to my platz for a Rohr buck." So a month or 2 later. I arrive at 0300 (Oh dark 30 for some of us), dark as hell, we have Schnapps & breakfast and packed into his German Jeep. Drive a good ways, sun just peaking into the trees, he says, "aawwhh there he is!" About 110 meters away near really near by a house in an obvious garden eating vegetables was a german shepherd sized deer. I reach for my door handle, 'Nine, nine open the fenster (window)' or actually loosen two screws and remove window of the jeep. Pulled up my trusty Husqvarna. 243 with redfield and took aim. Deer dropped. We did the ceremony of breaking a branch from a tree, dipping in blood and put one piece in its mouth and other laid upon the wound. After giving thanks for our harvest, we took the buck to the Gasthaus/restaurant hotel back shed 2 kilometers away. They laid the buck out and start pointing, jabbering & laughing. I asked what's wrong and he said nothing, let me show you. He took a Rohrbach deer sized paper target out of the car. Took his knife and cut a half inch hole in the target X ring center of blat (heart) and proceeded to lay the silhouette over deer. There, dead center of the X ring hole, was the entrance hole. "Ze shenzen so much paper!" The deer was quartering away and I should have shot, in his 30 plus years experience, shot forward by 2 cm. Deer dropped in his tracks and i had hit heart & one lung.
