Boot_Scraper Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) My lightweight 308 earned its salt today. 150 yards and this fellow gifted himself to me and mine. Beautiful beast. The Xanthos is officially a killer. This warrior had an antler buried in his neck from previous years of battle. These creatures never cease to amaze me.

jtallen83 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Now that would make a very unique mount! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot_Scraper Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thanks fellas! The impact was a touch high. I zeroed the scope for 50 and held over a touch as he was at 150. The bullet hit where I was aiming, obliterating the spine, and he dropped like panties at a Van Halen backstage party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot_Scraper Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) @Magwa I was wondering when someone would call out the bat. Lol! You never can be too sure, rule #2: double tap. The bullet basically exploded itself and the spine upon impact. Just so happens my friend had him on the trail cam when we was alive. His LH antler was affected by the antler in his neck or some other trauma and closely resembles the logo from one of my favorite bands.

Boot_Scraper Posted November 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2019 Found the bullet, or what's left. I've heard of mushrooms but this is more like a flower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
