Mule deer taken last month here at home. And took my first whitetail in Texas day before yesterday but can't seem to get the pic uploaded right now.

Got mine after feeding the cows and getting into brush ground blind about 4:20, he came out at 5:19.

Showed up by himself. The bases were packed full of bark.
 
Used a pair of Leupold Katmai's 6x36, to spot him. Shot was 104 yards according to the Leica, and rifle was, is, and always will be a Weatherby Vanguard .308. Load was a hand loaded 180gr Fail Safe, 44gr of 748. (It's actually my elk load, but I had a deer tag too, so what the heck). Scope is a Nikon Monarch Gold 2.5-10x50mm.

Rack scored 152 7/8, but had to cut it off because I had the bad manners of shooting him on the side of a steep and slippery rock face. Only way to get him out was the tumble/slide method - so I cut the rack off to save it. Tough to see the one point because it's hidden behind the scrub. Brow tines are 1 1/2" a piece so technically, a 5x5 with a 20" internal spread.

He was walking towards me when I shot. Bullet went a touch high, hit him in the lower jaw, bullet then travelled down the front of his neck then down the outside of his rib cage. Bang - flop...then slide, tumble, slide and tumble again. Semper Fi.

Taken in Sterling City with a Swiss K-31 shooting Hornady BTSPs, 168 grain methinks. Basic Nikon prostaff scope. Not much for showing off, but that's not the point, at least not for me.

Shot him right through the heart; in fact, when we dressed him, there weren't even chunks left, just a lot of blood. Perfect kill, he was dead before he hit the ground.
