[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1265875, member: 48608"] Oklahoma deer taken on opening day. Not exactly long range at 205 yards. Using My suppressed R8 in 65 Creedmoor and some brand new Norma ammunition in their American Hunter line loaded with the 130 Swift Sirocco bullets. I'm sure this is the same deer I had to pass on 2 years ago in the same exact location. I couldn't shoot then as my hunting friend was walking around the thick woods near where he came out. It was the last day of our hunt and he was trying to stir up some activity. He did when a 5x5 came out and stood 15 yards from me. This time he came out from the same trail, but I was in a ground blind 205 yards away. There was a small fork horn chasing a doe around in the area. They both suddenly stopped and looked the same direction behind them. I saw these antlers above a line of bushes, but couldn't see his body. Light was ending soon and I needed another three steps to get him clear of the brush. He was actually down wind from me with winds around 10-15 mph. He must have been really hot to chase that doe as he didn't hesitate to go after her. Well, he stepped out and that was his last move. One shot and he fell in his tracks. The other 2 didn't even move at the shot. LOVE hunting suppressed! 43 years of deer hunting and never had the opportunity for one like this in front of me. Very happy with this old warrior. Bad cell pic. I had forgotten my camera at the house, last light fading quickly and the battery died right after this one was taken..... [/QUOTE]
