Well yesterday was the opening season for whitetail deer, in MO., and within the first 30 minutes of the season, I scored a 10 point buck, using my (above) rifle. Now that spread wasn't any trophy animal, nor was his weight, estimated at 150-160#'s and I'd say about 2-3 years old. But when I hit that animal he just collapsed like a ton of lead had hit him instead of my 129 grain Winchester Whitetail factory round. Once he went down I chambered another round just in case he got up, but within seconds I saw a puff of steam emit from his carcass. Shot was right at about 100 yards, and it went right thru his left side exiting a bit high on his right side taking out his lungs and liver (unfortunately, I just lover venison liver and onions) however his heart was in tact which is just about as tasty, as the liver. Wish I had some photo's of that buck, but my son took photos on his cell phone, and transferred them to my cell phone, however I haven't figured out how to send them to my computer, in order to place them up here. Anyway I'm going to have just the antlers mounted, as due to my age and condition I'm going to want something to remember this hunt. Incidentally I had my trusty Remington BDL .270 with 130 grain ballistic tip hand loads as a back up at my sons trailer at our campsite.
