One of the elderly farmers in my church asked me if I would take him hunting on his place.. He had a landowner permit and wanted to kill one more deer while he could.. He's over 80 years old and can barely get around.. Today was the last day of rifle season and he said that he had spotted a herd of deer on his winter wheat field this morning on the way to church... After church I swung by my place and picked up my .243 for him to use.... 45gns of H4831 and a 100gn Nosler Partition was the load.. I've used this combo for years and it has proved to be deadly.... When we got to the back of the field the deer were still there and they were in full rut.. The deer in the picture was busy chasing a couple smaller bucks from the does.. We watched them for awhile .. the whole herd was running crazy in the field... does fighting each other and the bucks trying to make a move on the does... All of a sudden one of the does stopped running and the buck in the picture mounted her and did his thing... Just when he finished old Norm dropped the hammer at about 100yds. The buck was hit perfect right behind the shoulder and made a run for it across the field.. He slowed to a stagger and Norm hit him with another and he went down for good...... This was one of the most enjoyable kills I've ever experienced... I've never seen a more ruttin bunch of deer and a happier hunter.... Both shots were pass-thrus and were two inches apart... Norm can still shoot.
