The hunt with my guide began about an hour after dawn. We hunted along the Suwannee River in Florida. After about 30 minutes, we spotted several deer but they spooked because we were too close, about 25 yards. Then we hunted a different area and saw fresh sign but no deer. After a couple hours, we spotted two does at a distance of about 75 yards. But I couldn't get a shot because trees in the way. These deer didn't seem very alarmed; they just walked away. After waiting patiently for about 30 minutes, we circled around to approach the deer from a different angle. I spotted a doe with my binoculars and prepared to make a shot at a distance of about 125 yards or so. The rifle was steadied against a tree trunk as the crosshairs aligned on a spot just behind the shoulder. I squeezed carefully as the shot echoed across the forest. The doe bounded away but we heard it crash after a short run.
How do you like my camo outfit?
Previously, I'd zeroed the Rossi 30-30 to hit right on at 100 yards with Hornady 150 gr Interlock ammo. Shots clustered into a two inch group. My lethal bullet crashed all the way through the chest organs leaving a one inch exit size hole. Fresh venison is appreciated! TR
