Filled it this morning!

[Grimm]

Nice 3x4 opening morning. Tried some new Hornady ammo and don't like how they did the job but they completed the task! Didnt have my phone for a picture where I shot him so had to get one at the scout. Hell of a drag out of that canyon until my buddy showed up..

[Fast Eddie]

Nice buck!

How far was the shot? Across, up, or down?

What rifle and caliber? Which variety of Hornady? What do you normally use and why do you like it better?

I miss my old Scout, never sell it if you don't have to.

Love it!

It's not my scout, it's a hunting buddy's. Im not even sure what year it is but it's a sweet truck!
3006 165gr Hornady superformax (I think) with the sst bullet. About 70 yards across a draw slightly uphill from me. I typically use fusion but I was having light strike issues so changed out the firing pin and ammo just to be sure. What's weird about this ammo was it didn't go through. It's almost like it hit a rib and deflected upwards and came out by the spine. Very odd that that range and bullet didn't make it through a rib and end up on the opposite side of the chest or go all the way through. My great shot still ruined some good tenderloin and I blame the bullet

After I shot this guy his buddy jumped out of a sage and he was a tank.. Huge spread on him.

Scouts are as much fun to keep running as the early Wagoneers. If you've got the time and a place to work on them they do make a fun on-going project! Nice looking buck.

 

[MrMillspecer]

That's a well earned smile your wearing. Cool old Scout as well. Good job !

Awesome job man!! Congrats. I was going to say, looks like you are in my neck of the woods (eastern Oregon)... Good shooting...

Nice deer! Glad someone had some success . Didn't have any luck for blacktail or elk in NW oregon. No luck with blacktail in the White River unit either. Similar to @v0lcom13sn0w I saw lots of does but no bucks. Going to hunt the late archery deer season in the Willamette Valley though. Might as well give it a shot.

I've never hunted the western side for archery but hunted east out of John day most my life. Rifle is a new thing for me but I'd like to get back into archery for elk at least. Got a new bow a while back and it's been nice getting back into shooting that. Trying to get my brother in law into it since my dad can't really cruise around like he used to.

I put in for the White river unit, since that's where I live, with no luck on drawing the tag. It used to be a guaranteed tag. Took my mother in law's boyfriend to my honey hole, on opening day (yesterday), and he shot a nice 3x4 at first light:



He was pretty happy.... Now I have to hunt western oregon and as you can see, I'd rather be here typing this, than dealing with the brush over there....

Nice buck !
And nice to see a Scout in deer camp !

We had one just like this in our crew.
Running gear similar to an early CJ5.
