So Today I decided to take a shot with my Browning A-bolt 7mm Rem mag. It was on a Deer being chased by a young 3 pt buck. The buck dogged her in and out of a far woods/ field edge.
I took a shot and missed, the larger deer, the hot doe came out and stood broadside at 350 + yds I assumed. Using my 4.5 to 14 Burris I used the second plex line under the center crosshairs. Second shot I dropped the doe.
Stepped off on the way to the deer was 395 yds.


It was a Very fun hunt with my Dad.


It was my Dad's tag we filled, he was Happy
Dad is 82 and has Polio...

Congratulations to you too. That's some fine shooting.

Nice. I'm thinking about buying you a rangefinder for Christmas, Scott, that's a lot of paces to keep track of.

Glad you got "the meat" for your Dad. I doubt a Creedmoor would have killed an animal that large at 400 yards. Those are magnum caliber distances.

Good job. Hope my kids help me out when I reach 82. I ain’t sure they want to see me around that long.

I counted it Twice, I have a Nikon rangefinder, never use it.

*** I just need Some 140 Gr. Bonded 7mm Mag ammo. Pert near out

WOW.

Nice that you and your dad are still out hunting. I hope I'm hunting with my kids at 82! The 7mm RM is my meat gun too.

Way to go Scott! Memories made and meat in the freezer!

My sister in law shot a cow elk last year at just under 400 with a creedmoor last year. Killed it just fine. More about shot placement than caliber.
That is still a heck of a nice shot your made. Congrats to your and your father. Pretty cool to see him getting out and hunting!

MT^^^ The Creedmoor title was in reference to my post last week wanting to buy a new rifle.

I still want one. Just not right now. Now I need more Ammo for what I do own.

Congratulations

Very nice. Very good shot too.

I'll take whatever I can get my grimy little fingers on. Luckily, they all group about the same.

That 139Gr.PSP. Maine ammo would be some Fast floating Ammo from the 7mmMAG.

Remington uses to put out a 140 gr. Bonded Soft point in a Green and Gold box. For the 7mm Mag. Loved shooting that stuff

I spent 2 weeks hunting with someone this fall. I loved his stories about his grandparents who spent 8 months in the bush each year. He said everytime they'd go hunting when they got back to camp his grandmother would ask "where's the meat".

It seems obvious that the doe was shot for the meat and to be given to his Dad. This post reminded me of that and why we hunt. End of story.

No offense intended to 330 and his Dad.

PF, I'll sleep well tonight and I hope you do.

White Dog, Thanks yes Dad wanted meat, Tenderloin and scrap for sausage in particular

He was on a doe earlier and couldn't get the shot off, When the Doe came out chased by the 3pt. He said Take it!
Very Happy we tagged out last weekend of our rifle season

That's a great picture of your Dad. Keep him close.

Congratulations

Looks like you made your Dad pretty happy. Good deal! Did you ever find that .22 birdshot you were looking for?
