Well, I can I guess, its a little embarrassing but I am not bashful LOL. First I will take a hit on my load 
. I shot this deer with my AR15. 64 grain Nosler bonded performance, 24.8 grains of varget with cci br4 primer. 70 yards standing broadside. Blew the heart completely apart. He went maybe 30 yards on a clean fast kill. After seeing what the load does on hogs, I had all the confidence in the world with it on deer at this range. That said, I went 1 day. The year prior I went to the same spot and harvested a big MN doe. I was with my same pal both times. We got to the field edge and I gave him the choice which end to sit, since I got the deer there last year. He says,"I aint going back to that worthless spot!" So he stayed in my stand I had last year. I walked to the other end of a 20 acre picked corn field. Plopped my rear end on a bucket, in a ground blind. Wind was ideal. Rut was on. It is a small spot with a big cattail willow slough. No trees but some small ones on the fence line. I had my back to one of them as a real nice ground cover. I was there maybe 10 minutes and had to take a leak bad. So I rest my gun against the tree, bent down on my knees and began relieving the preasure if you get my drift LOL. Mid stream I look up and out of the cattails comes a nice doe on the jog. And right behind her was Brutis. No time to zip up, reached back and grabbed the p shooter, and shouldered it, still on my knees with junk out . He stopped about 65-70 yards and looked around broadside. After 30 years of deer hunting, gun and bow. I know exactly where the ticker is located. I put the leupold 3x9 vx 2 on the center of the ticker, let my breath out and squeezed off a round from the Rock River ATH's 2 stage trigger. He doubled up in a hunch, sprinted 30 yards and dropped dead. The loads I created are solid sub 1/2" MOA at a hundred yards so I as said was totally confident in the ability of the gun. It did the same thing with good sized hogs prior to deer hunting. So that was my one and only day I hunted last year. A whole 20 minutes LOL. My buddy is still pouting about his stand choice . He had a front row seat to the whole ball game . It cost me 500 bucks in 20 minutes. Getting a semi sneak full shoulder mount. He dressed out at 226 lbs. Big boy.
