Pedersoli Blue Ridge Rifle Buck

[justinoldguy]

Just got done dragging this fella in on public land. No UTV, just pulled a few yards at a time until I got him to my pickup around 700 yards away. Not going to do that again, nearly the death of me at my age. Got him with a Pedersoli Blue Ridge Rifle in .54, using a .530 round ball, .015 linen patch, and 60 grains of 3f Swiss. He walked up from behind my left shoulder as I was sitting on a log up up against a tree. He never saw me, despite wearing orange hat and vest. Fell at the shot, wish he had run towards my truck.

Congrats on a very fine buck. Those Frontier/Blue Ridge rifles are great shooters.

The long drag is one off the reasons I have give up hunting on local public land that doesn’t allow me to get near to pick up a deer. I just can’t do it anymore.

Well Done!

I started keeping a wheeled game hauler in my pickup. WAY easier than dragging. I do have to go from kill site to pickup and back, but if you are a ways back in, it's still well worth it vs dragging.
