Went for a all day hunt yesterday, very hot and windy all day but at first light I had two doe and 5 bucks come through and knew it would be a active day and worth the long, uncomfortable sit in the lock on. Around 10 am I had another 4 point come through and a few minutes later a larger buck went through with no shot. after that it was slow, around 3 I heard chasing and a doe ran through my shooting lanes, few seconds later this guy trotted out and got into an opening about 65 yds out and stopped. Hit a little higher then I wanted but I was high above him and the 300gr XTP managed to take out both lungs and the spine. Just dropped and was done in a few seconds.
Overall I loved hunting with this combo, the MR weight/length feels great to me, very nimble in the tree, shoulders great and nice trigger. The leupold ultimate looked great in the woods. The weird part was when I reloaded I couldnt get the primer out, had to pry it out with my knife. Going to shoot off my round today and see if it happens again.
anyways here is my buck, not the biggest but I passed so many deer this season that I was more then happy with this. He will taste great.
still have tags so ill be going after a doe soon.
