*** 2017 Whitetail ***
Had a quick look at this guy crossing a clearing at 10:30 with four does just as I arrived at my spot. Went for a walk and sat along the fence line for a bit. Had a 140" 4x4 come to within 25 yards around noon that I decided to pass on. 30 minutes later this guy reappeared and gave me an 80 yard broadside shot, he only went 30 yards and I heard him crash. Went down about 50 yards from where my big 5x5 did 15 years ago. Was using the Tikka .308, Nosler 165 gr Accubond.

Heck ya, beauty deer. This year was the first year I have actually seen quite a few quality White tails take dirt naps and I'm loving it.
