Finally Punched a Tag
« on: November 16, 2017, 02:08:30 PM »
Its been about 4 years since I got a deer.  This nice doe walked in about 7:20 behind my stand.  A 30 yard shot with a .240 bee, the thing fell dead in its tracks.  I'm excited since it'd my first deer with my newest rifle.  It's also nice to get some meat back in the freezer.  I'm only allowed one deer in this zone which is a shame... 3 of her friends sat and watched me taking pictures before they ran off.

My hero pics with the deer, my rifle and me didn't come out so good after dragging her back through the woods a ways in the pouring rain, so I'll just leave this one.

Congratulations! She'll eat good, especially after a four year drought. At that distance, there probably wasn't to much meat damage was there? BTW, thats a nice looking blind in the background.

That looks like a nice size doe, good job! Any idea on the weight? How exactly did the bullet perform that close (through and through/internal damage, etc) and what bullet were you using?
