~kev~ Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 About 4:30 two does came out from the tree line. Around 4:45, another doe came out. Just after 5pm a spike and a 6 point came out. Then, just before dark, about 5:15 or so this 9 point walked out of the tree line. I hit him from about 75 yards. The deer ran into a very dense thicket where I spent the next hour looking for him. Then the nextt hour and a half dragging him up hill. Finally, I got him where he could be loaded on the 4-wheeler. The rifle is a Remington model 700 chambered in 7mm express / 280. Remington designed this caliber off the 30-06. Its the same brass as a 270 but with a 7mm bullet. I was shooting 150 grain pointed soft points. The deer weighed in at a little over 125 pounds, but he had been field dressed - so his weight might have been around 140 pounds or so.
