First ML Buck

[oscarb]

Took my first buck with a ML last week, priceless! A single .50 320gr REAL in front of 60gr Swiss FFFg from my Lyman GPH was all it took to bring down a mature Impala ewe after a death dash of 60yards. Shooting distance 75yards, right on the shoulder, slightly high, just missed the heart but took out arteries & lots of lung. Minimal meat damage, as we say you can eat right up to the hole.
Sorry no pictures. I have the hunt indellibly captured in my minds eye forever.

oscarb,
Another example showing it don't take 150grns
of powder to make a humane kill.Thanks for
bringing that out and congratulations.

Congrats Oscar :bow: I keep a journal on all my hunting trips & then I can look back at it as the years pass. This helps me to recall all the details about the trip. I record all the info I can recall, ie; wind direction, speed, Temp., Time of day & direction of game movement.It has made me better hunter over the years, because I have found that under the same conditions year after year animals tend to follow the same patterns . But I do like to take photo's also, on which I record the info on the back of each pic , But in my younger days I did not always have a camera along Now I always take along a Video or still camera on all my trips afield because the old memory just ain't what it used to be :shocked2: Good Luck & Good Shootin'
