Well long day and lots of deer. First thing this morning we chased a 180"+ mule deer and just couldn't seal the deal. I didn't want to take a rushed or poor shot so never pulled the trigger. He was chasing a hot doe and just wouldn't really stop for a good shot. Well after Zen finished his beauty nap, and we ask know he needs allot of that. We headed back out to the area the big mule deer was and was going into the section and another group of hunters were already there. So we headed to another spot. We started still hunting a section of hills/grass between two food sources and came up on a bedded 10 point. He spooked and ran out to 300 yards. By the time he stopped I was on him and held just over his back about 6" figuring a 12" drop. After the shot I had a split second where I thought I missed but then I heard the smack you hear when the bullet his the deer. I didn't see the deer drop but Zen said he fell like a sack of potatoes. The 300 SST came out just behind the far shoulder and what a great shot. For those who doubt the Hornady SST well that's fine I'll just keep killing deer!  Not the biggest deer on the hill but my first 300 yard shot and can't be happier!   |

Yeah, I thought that rack (and deer) looked a lot like a whitetail. Great shot and very nice deer. I hope Zen can sleep having just witnessed a miracle.
