One shot with a 280 dropped the deer flat in his tracks. Undeniable proof the 280 is a better deer rifle than the 338win...... right?
Kurt you described exactly my scenario all right. The deer stood by the bale long enough for buddy to empty his gun, then long enough for you to finish the job properly.

Half an hour in one spot, plus the time it took you to get there.
