Neck shot at 350 yards. She never flinched, literally “tipping one over”.
I was very pleased with the new (for me) Sako A7 in 7-08. And extra pleased with the 120 grn NBT.
The ridge that I shot it from is over Brian’s shoulder.
Stuffing her into our packs for the ride home.
That night, Brian got his chance and bowled the second one for the day. A nice yearling. 400 yards across a shitty gully which was quite a treck for the retrieval.
As an aside. When we got back to camp from shooting my deer with the new rifle, I offered Brian a cup of instant caramel late that I had brought with me. He turned it down, saying “ hell no, if I drink that I will probably get this urgent urge to rush into town and buy a Tika 7-08”.
