A few days ago I filled my last tag for Idaho.We had a great season this year and I met a bunch of new friends.
We hunting hunting private land and I was sitting on a large boulder watching a valley that had been logged a few years ago. I seen this buck once but he was going straight away from my position.I continued to watch him until he went out of sight.In between I had saw a few smaller bucks and doe's but nothing I wanted to take yet.
A few minutes goes by and here he comes again pushing a doe across the valley headed right towards me. I get all setup and calm myself down.He pauses in the opening and I let him have it. He runs out of sight and I wait about half an hour until I head over and cut blood.He ran 111 yards and piled up. That little 6.5x55mm even at long range kills all out of proportion to its paper ballistics.The 125 grain partition went through both sides and exited.Here is some pics, my two bucks are on the left of the lineup.
