Opening Morning, .357 Mag Fork Buck
Well, it was a quick opening morning for me. I decided last night that I was going with my Ruger GP-100 .357 mag as my primary this morning. I had dropped a hunting buddy off at his location and headed up to where I was going to set up a ground blind. Got set up and about 5 minutes later this fellow came charging in to the scent bomb I had put out.

I took him in the neck at 30 yards with open sights. He flipped back, hit the ground and died.

Boring, Yes, but it hit him like a ton of bricks.

They do run a little hot.
