Every rifle I own will come out hunting at least once. Just the way I am.

Rifle was taken with my Tikka T3X CTR in a Mcmillan A5 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. This is the fourth mule Buck I've taken along with one bear.

Knew where he was sleeping so just dialed in the range and waited for daylight.

Why the blur? Oh, I get it national security..

Had someone in the Canadian gun community actually start to stalk me. I think he was sweet on me or something but he was nuts. Started following me to every gun forum I went to collecting every picture I posted and any information I posted :LOL:


Come on now... you have to brag about the distance and impact. Them's the rules.

326 yards.

Hit him right behind the front shoulder, went through both lungs.
 
So a nice little update to the story. My neighbor and her husband have just started getting into Taxidermy and they do some amazing work. When she heard I had a deer she asked to buy the ears off it. I thought that was a little weird but if someone wants a deer head and an ear was missing, or too short/long, etc, they just graft a new one on. I told her she could just have the ears since I'd just be throwing them out anyways. I gave her the head and told her to just cut the antlers off the top of the head and bring them back (we mount them on the barn like any normal rancher redneck).

Couple weeks go by and she stops by the store and delivers this, free of charge as a thanks for the ears!
