    2 deer down- Annual Bro hunt

    Day one of a planned week long hunt with my big bro we each filled our tags on the first day. I used my Win 88/308 with 200gr Lee cb and dropped a nice fat whitetail doe at approx 160 yards. My brother had a chance at a nice 3x4 buck. His first shot was from his TC Encore 7mm Rem mag which was a clean miss and his gun jammed up I literally threw him my 88 and he cycled a round and dropped the buck at 80 yards.
    Both shots were pass thru's. Mine ran maybe 15 yards and my Bro's about 40yds.
    Theyre skinned and hanging and our plans for the rest of the week is some bird hunting and visiting��
    That rifle and load has been working well for me so far as it's taken a cow moose and two nice whitetail.

    Nice longhead.
    Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.

    Good deal. I swear that the .308 is the perfect whitetail rifle cartridge.
