[QUOTE="booner2008, post: 1013536, member: 82472"] So now that i have this gun, i need to try it out on some deer. November 15 was opening day of rifle in NY. We have been managing deer by the Finger Lakes Region of NY for over 20 yrs. We grow some big deer. Opening day i was in a box stand over looking 2 food plots and a very large swale field.We usually only take bucks over 160" with the gun. 140" with bow. We knew of one deer that was shot in the head with an arrow by a neighboring bow hunter. So at 4:00 Saturday afternoon, i see this buck that was injured dogging a doe. I was amazed to see him running full tilt after her. I would have thought he would'nt be so active considering a broadhead was in hus head. Anyways, I determined it was him and ranged him after I knew it was him 100% . I ranged him at 384yrds and looked at my phone app Strelok and dialed up accordingly. With a stiff west wind ( right to left ) about 15-17 mph I held into the wind a bit and squeezed off. The Scenar 139 put a hurtin on him and he didnt go anywhere. I couldnt be anymore happy to kill this buck knowing he was injured with my new build that after practicing pre-season and having 101% confidence in my equipment! He scores about 145 1/2" as an 8pt. He broke his right brow off and was a 3 1/2 yr old. He didnt meet our min 160" for the gun but I couldnt live with myself knowing i had a chance to harvest him while injured and did not . Please enjoy the pics. [/QUOTE]
