On Friday, I took my first buck, a fat healthy blacktail in southwestern Oregon.
I used a borrowed 270 Winchester using 130 gr remington core-lokt, but given where I shot him (through the shoulder into the spine) and distance (<80 yards) I could have used just about anything.
After skinning, gutting, and hanging, he yielded a little under 60 pounds of meat. I'm throwing a celebratory dinner for my friends as soon as I return.
Funny, I've been posting here for 8 years, and this is my first hunting trip. Goes to show that you're never to old to take up hunting.
