Shot a nice Whitetail this year in southern Alberta. I killed him about 5 minutes from home. He was a nice surprise as I was stalking a doe in some high grass when he made his apperance. The shot was a little on the long side. The endless hours at the range paid off and I hit him perfectly quartering away through his offside shoulder. I'm shooting a rifle that I built myself on a Remington 700, Montana barrel and Macmillan stock. It's chambered in 7.62 X 51 Nato and pushes a 165 Gr. Accubond at about 2850Fps.

looks like you had a great season congrats on a fine animal and getting it with a rifle you built makes it that much better

A fine trophy indeed.

Congrats!

What a loser. He obviously poached it out of season, and put a hat and woolies on to make it look like it's not summer.Good job on scraping off the velvet though, looks clean. Long side of the bumper maybe. Hey, is that a high fence in the background? Five minutes from home cause you bought him at a game auction and had him tied up in the back yard. It just takes your lazy-ass 5 minutes to walk that far.
Uhhhhh...darn taret's syndrom.....
For real that was a hell of a shot, and a great deer for our part of the world. We'll top it next season with your mulie and my ram though...
Now for some yodel puppies....hehehe.

You can shoot all the mulies you like. The RAM is mine!!!

Thomas that's a fine buck and a favorite cartridge. Well done.

What powder do you use to generate that level of velocity?

Like this one? About 2 hours from home...

308Sako: I'm shooting a max load of Varget. The velocity really comes from the 27" tube!!

Omega: WOW that is a dandy ram. What part of the province did you take him?
Since you can't shoot a sheep next year, you might as well take me along

Cadomin.
