coles Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 tonight i went out after work to try and find a whitetail doe to shoot. i didnt get out till 5:45p.m. though but i hiked up the hill. i found a doe bedded down in the alfalfa field and as i snuck up on her she got up and walked away. but as i was following her another doe and lil fork horn buck came out about 50 yards from me. Of course she walked out in front of me right where she was inline with the cows and the pivot in the field. she stared me down and i knew if i moved enough to get her to run she would run off a lil ways and stop. and she did just that. she trotted off and stopped where she offered me a perfect clear shot no where near that cows of pivot. She was about 100 yards away when i pulled the trigger on my new Ruger Hawkeye 270. After she was hit tight behind the front shoulder with a 130gr federal fusion she ran off 30 yards and tried to jump the fence but didnt make it. I have been dying to try out this new gun. its the one with the olive drab hogue overmoulded stock and i topped it off with a burris fullfield II tactical 3-9. The rifle did exactly what it was supposed to but i only wish that the shot would have been a lil farther so i could see what the fusions really can do. but i didnt have my camera with me so i dont have pics but i know this doe had to weigh close to 215lbs. she was huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
