Many previous day’s failures led to today’s success. I am very grateful for my good fortune.
It was rainy, cold and low visibility. He only bounded once after the shot. Stood for a moment, then fell.
Hornady CX in 6.5 PRC worked well. He was front shot. It very much blew up his heart but lodged in rear leg and never exited.
Thanks Wildlife Officer Battles for certifying my buck and sharing some critical post hunt tagging information.
Shout out to Sprig and the SCH community. This forum is important. Especially for a novice like myself learning along the way. Thanks for giving us a place to share and learn from each other. I hope to pass down a hunting tradition (and pile of weapons!) to my kids that I never inherited myself.
