    Couple last evening with .257R and the 115 NBT. 290 yds.
    First one high shoulder. Second one facing me and hit a bit off center. He made it 100 yards but Bella tracked him and he was pretty much expired.

    Restraint is the better part of dignity. Don't justify getting even. Do not do unto others as they do unto you if it will cause harm.

    He was a bit small. Red. Too many, that’s why I’m getting into them.
