Oldest took a nice doe. 110 yard shot with my 6.8 SPC-chambered AR, Wilson Combat 6.8 SPC ammo (with a 95 gr Barnes TTSX bullet — I love this setup). Textbook broadside shot. She did run some, had a bit of hard time finding her in the tall weeds, but Oldest recalled hearing a “crash” like the sound of bushes/trees and was able to find her.
It was also his first time to clean anything (in the past I always did the dirty work). So it was a good educational day for him. Yielded a fair amount of meat (for a doe), which we already got back from the processor and enjoyed some ham steaks this past Sunday. 🙂
Bottom line: got to spend time with my son. So, that’s a win of a day for me.
Well do you have an AAR?
HA! 🙂
