matthewp45 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 I had walked into a knoll about 4 miles from any roads to set up and glass. I had been seeing alot of sign in the area and although there were a lot of people, 95% of them would only get out of the Jeep to get a beer. I was glassing for an hour when I finally picked out a buck about a half a mile away. I made a 2 mile circle around to get down wind. Well needless to say I ended up losing that deer. I was disapointed but the deer was not all that big. So I proceed to walk back to my spotting scope on the hill. I am about 500 yards from my scope when I lock eyes with this buck. He jumps up and starts running about 150 yards. I tried to stop him to no avail. I put the cross hairs right on the front of his chest and squeezed. The 7MM Dakota put him in the dirt in a hurry. That is when I made a specticle of my self by yelling and screaming. I finally got him packed out and I will take him up to Mogollon taxidermy this weekend. The lesson learned this trip is don't always focus way far away. Sometimes they are closer than you think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
