All I have to say is right place right time!!You got to love when they like to hang out in the creek bottoms[
]!! I shot it straight west of Newton Dam. It was wheat,corn and alfafa fed. The best part he was standing in a hay field when I shot him. 300 yds from the road. first shot lungs he took off quartering away just missed the right rear quarter and got his liver then I cow called and he stopped and the last one just above the front shoulder then he was done! It was one tough critter 3 good shots from a 338 Win Mag. Called my buddy and he brought his tractor over and we loaded it in my truck whole! Had it skinned and caped by noon and the head to the taxidermist by 2! It was worth waiting 14 years! Now a 30" buck for the muzzy hunt that would be a perfect season[sly]! Thanks for all the comments!! And yes Chad a couple cold ones for sure!![blush]
