Utah Deer hunt 2013

Post by coldboremiracle »

Luckily I had my SRS along that day, stuffed with my DTA .260 barrel. I literally had to sprint 400yds uphill to race another guy to shoot this deer. Luck shined on me that day, for even though the other guy started shooting first, from a closer position. His seven or more shots resulted only in a broken foot, compared to my one shot fired from 620 yds sent a hot 140gr Barnes Match Burner into the deer:

It was dark by the time I made the climb up to him:

Nice job, what do you think of the Barnes match burners?

I've never heard of 2 people trying to shoot the same animal over her. Does it happen often?

I love the Match Burner, excellent bullet. Always goes where I put it. Unfortunately, there are probably two or three deer hunters per deer in the state I live in, so ya, if a deer sticks his antlers out in the open, there is a good chance that more than one person is gonna see him. Luckily I had the SRS on my side that day, so the other guy didn't stand a chance ;)
