very good conditions & great 3 buck action at first light this morning..omg...and missed a buck yesterday at 3:30...he was too close & shot over his back...so I killed this one ranged at 127 yd quartering 2 lung shot down on a winter wheat field...knocked him right down hard with a solid 150 grain charge...20181106_073627.jpg

and heres where I stood for just a few minutes at first light tuesday am realizing there was 3 bucks down on the field mulling around out to the left inbetween the trees...I turned up my scope to 8 power picking out the shooter...

After the instant kill shot...one of the other bucks went ballistic standing down there snortin & wheezin and pawing the ground for about 10 minutes until I said enough is enough and went down there to challenge him..lol...well he finally said good bye and walked off slowly.. pissed right off...ya it was great buck action..

Hey @mick have a great trip! There is always an open seat in my boat for you. As for Maddy getting the bear it was pretty amazing. Just enjoying some pepperettes as I write this (y)
