My dad was trying to get the lion. He actually took a couple more shots that also went right. There was no wind so I’m not sure what he had going on, haha. But the lion worked his way out of range before anyone else could get on him. So we went back to looking for deer. I actually found the lion again about 5 minutes before I found my buck the next day.

MattMan Report post Posted December 24, 2020 Beautiful bucks... congratulations. Looks and sounds like a great multi generation hunt. FWIW... First shot impact on the second buck was low, basically hoof level, as called by the spotter. NOT high, or anywhere even near over his back. The only thing “high” was trace, which is expected by anyone who’s shot or spotted. Even a little bit. If you’re gonna shoot that far, practice further. Some audible commentary in the video isn’t confidence inspiring as far as practice and familiarity with shooting the distances involved in the video. Past around 400 yards, neither is a f’n 270 or 6.8 anything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That rifle/load combination has killed an elk at 1025, deer at 910, deer at 880, deer at 810, deer at 750, deer at 630 and countless deer and elk at 500 and in. That’s just the history of that rifle. I guess we are just super lucky. I do appreciate that you took the time to comment. Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
