Its a little hard to see but literally 30 seconds after I dropped him the challenger buck is already moving in on the does. Nature is savage.

Props for sharing and helping. Props to the gentleman for getting out there and getting it done! No better teacher than first hand experience!

We leave the house @ 4 AM Friday and hit the unit in the afternoon. Driving roads and glassing until its too dark. We finally spot the buck in the video with 90mins of light left. Back at camp I look at pictures of him and 1 other buck who I actually thought was bigger, however the proof was...

It was @JakeSCH that figured it out, made it look way to easy. 63gr of n560, Lapua brass and a 1/4 crimp. Its just shy of 3400fps in a 1/7 twist factory 24" browning. I think we went up to 64 and pressure started showing obvious signs.

I'll get to the story soon. Here he is the evening before. Watching his harem.

124 hammer, frontal at 100yards. Bullet ended up stopped touching the rear hip joint. Down instantly,

Ears are ringing a little bit.

Those are sweet. Whats on the menu in NM?

Stay tuned, we're (Dad and I) heading out Friday AM. I drew the tag with 0.5% chance. We may have a few hours to scout Friday evening before season opens Saturday. This will be my first hunt as a father myself so it'll be a quick one!

Done.

I'm probably going to pass on this weekend as well. Leaving for an antelope hunt next week anyways. We are pretty spoiled to have such a long season between a22/d16/AO.

@Ofdscooby is a class act. When I pulled in the lot to meet he was also helping a stranger jump start his car.

A family member has one, its definitely feature packed and very customizable. He loves it.

I'll take it! I'll text you later - Adam

See you guys tomorrow.

Its not really a thing in SoCal on pubic land. If you think about it, you're never more than 5 miles from the nearest road. Its more a game of continuously getting at bats until you nail one. I've hiked in several miles in the 16 for rifle opener, gaining more than 2,000ft vertical thinking...

Done. Thanks for sharing, Steve.
