What a hunting year it's been. Two trips to africa, tons of hogs, a first day double on elk and a great finish with both species of north Texas deer. I got this Muley Last week.
I had been hunting for several days and had passed up several good bucks. I had bedded several does the day before and went back early the next day into the canyon complex where they had gone for the night.
As soon as I entered the draws leading to the canyon I saw a group of three does and a little further two more broke out in front of me. As the trailing doe crested the draw she stopped and looked back into the bottom of the draw. I knew then that since it was rut she was looking back at either another doe or Mr. lover boy. I popped the scope covers and brought my R-93 Blazer in .300Weatherby to port arms.
Turns out it was Mr. right he broke cover at a run and I ran to the next ridge when I crested he was just about to skyline when he did the fatal mule deer stop and look back trick before disappearing. That was the only break I needed and sent a 180gr Sirroco the 218 yds into his vitals. The deer bucked at the shot and went over the hill but the game was up and he pilied up a short time later. I love these big symetrical 3X3's.
I really like these sirroco bullets they group tight and they are stout enough to hold together and not do to much meat damage out of this thermo nuclear .30. A very well built bullet.
