Good morning all,
I thought I would share a nice buck, my first using my relatively new SCAR 17. A quick shout out to Alaskapopo on this forum for his wisdom concerning the SCAR, he really helped with my decisions on how to set it up. Anyway, A quiet walk thru the woods, misty, cool, crisp morning and this big guy comes cruising along. For you hunters out there, It's always a big victory when you "get the drop" on the animal and he has no clue you're in his world. I was able to maneuver, drop to a knee for a braced position and put the red dot on the Leupold VX-6 (always on 1x for stalking) and sent an ole fashioned 150gr soft point into the shoulder at the amazing long distance of say...30 yards. For a Southern deer, he's a big one, live weight at 212# and a solid 9 point. We will enjoy the bounty...good things my wife's a great cook to keep up with my son's great appetite.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
