Woke up at 5:30am this morning, got up got dressed, went and got coffee going, then started my truck to warm up. Made a grilled ham and cheese sandwich to eat while I sat and sipped my coffee...
Headed out to the deer blind, parked, walked to the stand, got in at got my heater going. It was 37 degrees this morning and I was nice and toasty sitting drinking coffee.
It started getting light, still as can be, no wind. Heard sandhills and geese calling as the flew over a long ways away. It got light and nothing was out eating corn. I sat back closed my eyes and relaxed for a while. Looked out the window and there he stepped out at that same second. I raised up my binos and recognized him from one trail cam picture weve got. I called him the ol muley deer because his G2 and G3 split like a mule deer.
He jumped in the fence to go eat under the feeder and I slipped my ol 6XC out the window and got settled. Looked through the scope, and ah shit... this March 10-60 highmaster 32nd dot was no where to be found. I messed with the parrellex alittle and found the dot... on 10X.. waited for the sun to come up a little more and the dot became easier to see. Then I went a good while with him facing away from me, then towards me, then away... couldnt get a good shot... I had to shoot through some feild fencing around the feeder to keep cows off the feeder... finally!... he lined up broad side where I could slip a berger 105 VLD through the fence and into the pump station! KAPOW!!!!! He lunged forward, stumbled stumbled got up to the fence, jumped it, then crashed on the other side... He got 15 yards.
Upon examination and gutting the bullet did not pass through, it went in and fragmented delivering all the energy into the pump station wreaking havoc on the vitals!! Perfect shot. Bullet did its job!
