I was hunting on a stand 4 or 5 years ago when a doe muley appeared at a little over 100 yards. I held my Encore 375-06 JDJ against a tree and commenced to miss THREE shots at her. I got angry with myself and decided to let her walk off. About an hour later she came back to the same spot. I nailed her first shot the second time around. The nearest I can tell is that I should not have held my Encore up against the tree. I should have used the tree to support my hand. When I finally hit her I was using a bipod.
