I shot this buck at 75 yards with a Winchester .270 and a hand-loaded 130-grain Nosler Ballistic Silvertip. I hiked a mile in the dark on opening morning, and had this deer on the ground by 6:50 a.m.

I also attached a picture of a buck that I scouted the previous weekend.

Thanks for all your hard work on this website.
