Pulled the trigger at 4:15 this afternoon. Not the biggest rack on our lease, but the biggest buck.
It was a long shot too. 30 yards!
I had set up on the bean field and had been seeing them come out anywhere from 175 - 450 yds, so I took my 300 Win Mag in anticipation of a long shot. I had calculated distance, drop, wind drift and everything, then hear something behind me at 4:05. Turn and look to see him thrashing a tree. Had to watch him for 10 mins, then he took about 4 steps to present me with a shot. Needless to say, a 300 Win Mag at that distance results in very little tracking needed.
