My buddy BC and I got an Alberta double on whitetails today.
I shot this guy right about 8:30. I have not scored it, but it's somewhere right about 150". One shot at 150 yards, with a 200gr Nosler Accubond from my M-700 8x57.
I hit him right in front of his left shoulder and the bullet went right out the center of his ribs on the right side.
Two hours later BC shot this 150-ish buck. Also about 150 yards, one shot right through the neck. It was the only shot he had, as the buck was standing in tall grass with brush also in the way.
Here's the two bucks together. I think the deer BC shot had the genetics to be a real giant, if it had grown up. Look at the small body, I think the thing was only 2-1/2 years old... it's the 'runt' on the right...
