Hes a great buck though! We certainly didn't expect this at all due to hot weather and lack of deer. The wind we had that day, pushed deer and elk down out of the rim rock, into the valley where they could get out of the wind and feed in the little parks between the smaller mountains.

I will have my brother in law type up his side of the story since it was his hunt.

Well, a picture is worth a thousand words, that was a long story and plenty of props. Good buck though, congrats. That's one thing I like about big deer, they have a bigger MOD (minute of deer) under a 100 yds, don't matter what the paper targets say @ 100 yds.:kidding:

PS I don't see no boolit holes in him, what he do hit the side of the truck. :kidding:

That thing is a hog.

He's a fat one! Nice job. Where did the bullet hit him?

In the second slow motion scene you can see the bullet before it hits.
