We've had a really hard time all year trying to get the middle boy on a deer, actually its been overly hard and frustrating. He's missed 3 this year and I dubbed him the "miss master" and he hated it. He's shot up close to 3 boxes of ammo at home practicing and trying to get his junk together as far as controlling breathing, trigger squeeze and just not freaking out. He's deadly on a metal plate or beer can out to 150 yards.
Day before yesterday I was talking to my buddy who I've hunted with for close to 20 years now and he said take Cruz and sit at the homeplace in the front field there is several groups of deer in there everyday. I've hunted there before and never seen deer to the right of the stand but almost always see deer. This little spike with horns barely poking through popped out down to the right. We got everything swung around bog pod leveled out, I stood up and he slid over to my seat then we waited.....that deer never would turn broadside for 15 minutes. When he did "Miss Master" couldn't get on him quickly enough. He finally turned and looked towards us and I said "kill hi" and he broke the shot. I heard the slap that is so recognizable with a suppressed rifle and the deer took off. I could tell he was hurt and he didn't go far. He was quartered away and he hit him through the shoulder coming out the chest somehow, I really don't know or care. He was super excited and I'm glad that first one is out of the way. Yes that 6.5 cm did in fact kill a deer and did it very well with 143 grain eldx bullets.
