In deference to bfrshooter, I sniped a nine point this afternoon. I was hunting the same place the eight point came off and boy was it windy; steady winds of 17 mph with gusts up to 32 mph. The deer came out into the field at 5:10, about 200 yards down the treeline from me. I glassed him and immediately spotted antlers. I also immediately noticed he had winded me, but could not tell where I was; I did not give him the chance to figure it out. About fifteen seconds after I glassed him he was on the ground. I was using my .309JDJ Contender and shooting off my backpack. The bullet used was a 150 grain Nosler BT. I hit just inside the of the left shoulder with a front facing presentation. The bullet exited and cut the last rib on the right side. He ran about 45-50 yards, I watched, before piling up. I cleaned and quartered him in the field, with a pack of coyotes in the not too far distance.

Where did his body go?? Fine buck, Hitman! Congratulations! That's obviously a really good spot for bucks. You've done us proud! So was it a two-hundred yard shot? Nice work, Hitman.

Yes, it is a good spot for buck and yes, it was a 200 yard shot. I was by myself and had to clean and quarter to get him out of the woods.

Congratulations on the obviously great shot, Hitman!

Thanks, he's the 60th Whitetail deer I've taken with that barrel. I even shot him from the ground, although I was laying behind my backpack when I did it.

Very nice buck and great shot MS Hitman.
You did us hand rifle shooters proud.

MS, I done tole ya that you da man in my book!
Great shot! Nice buck.
I just like revolvers better because of archery hunting most of my life. Deer do not excite me unless they are close and even then I fail to get the blood pumping anymore. I guess after over 360 deer kills, excitement gets lost. They just don't bother me at all.
Then the thought of having to butcher again! Ask Marko how much I hate it. He sticks me with too much work because of where he lives. I am happy to help him but I love to see him with a knife in his hand!

Nice deer, Rob. Congratulations.

Nice buck and even better shooting!

The 150 grain BT is a fantastic bullet for the .309 JDJ as it opens well even at lower velocities and penetrates more than sufficiently. I've used it to take countless hogs with a bull-barreled 20" .308 WCF that pushes the 150 NBT at 2780 fps.

Again, congrats on a terrific shot...

Great Shot.Really nice Deer!!!!Congrats.

Excellent shot MS Hitman! Nice buck too. I shoot the same bullet with IMR4198 in my 14" Bullberry 30-30 AI at 2400 fps.

Congradulatios on a fine buck and an excellent shot. Here's to ya
