Thread: 223 on deer

My first sambar stag. I shot it yesterday evening while out peacock shooting with Dad. I had just shot at a peacock at 265m when this guy popped his head up in my line of fire. Dad quickly confirmed to me that we had permission to shoot sambar so this poor stag caught a 77gr lapua in the head at 185m from my tikka 223.

The unbroken side went 28". Nearly a genuine trophy.

Looks in very good condition. No meat spoiled with 1 in the swede. Ripper.
