Big thanks to everyone that helped me out on here. This was my first western hunt, first rifle hunt. I asked a lot of questions about what rifle/scope etc. here. My first trip was a success. Its definitely a different type of hunting than I am use to, but I loved it, it was a lot of fun. We spotted this buck about a mile off the road with a group of about 10 does. We quickly parked and were able to take advantage of a creek bottom to stalk in all the way to about 228 yards. Crawled up out of the creek bank and got the bipods out and put a great shot on this buck. He dropped in his tracks. I was all smiles. I hope to be able to make a trip again soon. I'm looking forward to having the meat back from the processor and my mount!
