[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2302715, member: 87243"] Several more critters down! First was a back country mule deer hunt where I used her rifle, I like it so much I had to make sure it was gonna perform! Plus it is lighter than my other rifle, and I'm still trying to tune it up ha ha. Got off early from a nightshift, left at 0400, and headed up. I only had one day to hunt for myself,, so I wasn't gonna be picky! We spotted a bunch of deer in a back bowl, and started hiking. Got back there and after a bit, glassed em up. My cousin's wife took the first shot and nailed her deer, then when I got a shot, took out the buck I had picked out at 390 yards. Here it is! [ATTACH=full]302056[/ATTACH] Next, the following week, it was my wife's turn. Again we only had one day, so we were gonna take what we could find. This hunt was way fun!

I watched it bed down at the base of a tree on a steep hillside, and we headed over to it.
