I got my first "real" big gme kill last Monday. Vandenberg AFB, has special hunts for acitve and retirees. We can hunt blacktail does. Anyway, I went out Monday night, set up in some beans fields the Lompoc Federal prison plants and waited. I saw several does, but they had fawns with them and I will NOT shoot a doe with a fawn (rules or not). I finall found two does and a fawn, waited to see which doe the fawn followed and then shot the other one. The equipment is a 270WSM using 130ETs propelled by 60.5gn of IMR4350 & a COL of 2.88". The shot was about 150 to 175yds. I waited to shoot when she was quartering away, the entrance was just behind the left shoulder. The exit was in front of the right shoulder and was about the size of a dime. It was a "bang-flop" shot. Now I get to butcher her tomorrow.
