Rossi Rifleman

Got this one on the 18th ..
MP 360-640 160 Gr HP 98/2 alloy powdercoated at approx. 80 yrd

Walk down to the dumpster.
empty the trash and let the lid slam shut .. German Shepard takes off to chase rabbits
He runs 40 yds in front and hangs a right as I look at him I see a strange shape in the bushhog cutout tunnel of the woods straight ahead .. I stare a few seconds and make out a deer .
Now I am thinking there is NO way I am going to get to the shop and back and the deer still be there
here I go sprinting to the shop about 40 yds to get the Rossi I was going to hunt with tomorrow
sprint back to the dumpster and shape is STILL there .. now thinking it the sun shining thru the trees playing a trick on me ..
creep about 20 feet closer and I see movement ..

Take aim with the open sighted Rossi and let fly a MP 359-640 penta point hollow point
it is 98/2 COWW/HSB, powder coated Orange/Brown, not gas checked and 14.9 grns of H110 going approx. 1675 FPS
nice broadside shot angling slight Shooters Left to right perfect hit takes out heart .. he runs about 15 ft and is dead

So .357 can kill.

Just joking. Nice work (story, pics, SHOT).

Nice the picture it looks like he's alive n just chilling out lol. With deer so over populated around here I've handed corn cob full of corn to does before. I think some are to used to us. Nice deer

Very nice deer. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, the deer God was smiling on you. Nice one.

Got to love it when everything lines up. Thanks to the dog a quick sprint, and good shooting on this one!

Cool beans, conrats! Nice buck!

Currently hunting my second tag, which is for whitetail doe. Problem is, whitetail are scarce in CO, this is mulie country. But this was a leftover tag, and whitetail only. Of course, I could have shot a half dozen big fat mulie does today, and easy shots too. Even a nice mulie buck today. When I had a mulie doe tag, it took 6 trips before saw any at all.

Well I wish you luck in that whitetail hunt
