What Did You Do Today?

I got my first rifle kill this morning. Our state finally allowed certain rifle calibers this season. I bought a Remington .243 and sighted it in at 50 yards. Our property is very thick and tangled with trees. This morning a doe came in behind me. At the same time a small buck crossed in front of me. I had to wait until he was out of site before I could stand to shoot. She saw me move and was about ready to bolt. Most of her chest was blocked by a tree. I aimed as far back as I could and pulled the trigger. She was quartering towards me so I was confident it would do the job. It was only a 15 yard shot. She ran less than 20 yards and dropped. I have a goal of killing a deer with every possible weapon type. After this morning the only thing left on my list is a FG bow. I'm done hunting for the season. That is 3 in the freezer. Might end up with 4 if my Dad or kids get one.
bubby:
Congrats Clint nice work. .243 is i fine deer caliber
osage outlaw:
Thanks. It sure did a number on that doe. I found half a lung under the shoulder blade. That doe was at least 1.5 years old. It should be some tender steaks.
JW_Halverson:
Not sure if that was a rifle shot or the dinner bell ringing, Clint! (.243, most under rated deer cartridge)
