willhunt4coues Report post Posted December 10, 2019 My son had the early November hunt. We had been watching his buck for about 5 weeks. we had photos and films of him and estimated him to be between 96 to 105. Rough gross was 100 3/8 and netted 96 6/8. Shot was 560 yards, with sun in eyes. he was not behind gun enough so the shot was a little high. but went in and came out the left side behind lungs. Crazy did a 90 degree turn in body. He used my gun since he likes it better..LOL. First day tag out before 9:00 am. I had built both of us 28 Noslers his had a APR hunter action and mine had my Bighorn SR3, We had shot over 300 rounds in each gun over the summer from june (when i finished barrels) to august, Then in sept and oct another 100 or so. We plan to change the barrels out this spring for next year. Shooting brux barrels 195 grain bergers at 2950. Next set of barrels i have a new reamer being built that should help get some more speed but will shorten barrels for weight. Also bought a new chuck to eliminate stress on work TBAS system. Then came my hunt for late November. We hunted every day except for the first day. We saw this buck one day during hunt on the move and was able to located him on last day glassing from the vehicles. Unfortunately with the fog rolling in and out and rain coming every few minutes when i spotted him I had to tale the shot or loss the opportunity. I had practiced for this for years now and knew i had it. 830 yards right behind shoulder and dropped him right there. Never dropped one with a shot behind shoulder but wow it was neat. Been worrying about the boys these past years that i finally got one. I wanted my dad to shoot but he passed since he has a hard time shooting far. 17 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lancetkenyon Report post Posted December 10, 2019 A 3 generation hunt? That…..is totally awesome! I wish my dad could tag along on a future hunt. I miss hunting with him. I just don't think he could handle a 13 day trip in the cold any more. Might need to try and get him out on an easier upcoming hunt. Great bucks. Great shooting. Would LOVE to see what that 195 pulling a U-turn did to that buck's insides. Did he dump? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did he dump? No he took about 10 steps and then was out, absolutely no movement. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
