Very nice buck! You seem to be breaking that 475 in right. What's some of the details??

He came in following a few does. This was a very old buck. We're estimating 8+ years old. He had completely lost several of his molars. 90+ yard shot and he dropped. I used the 325 Speer again. I also shot a spike that needed shooting. Exhaustion has set in though. I slept 2 hours last night and was up at 2:15 to drive the 3 hours to where I was hunting.

Awesome buck, Gary!
I hear you about the exhaustion...that goes with the territory of being a good hunter and also guiding as you are and I am/was...
...but, like I said, somebody has got to do the dirty work! 
Congratulations on a great looking buck and great shot!

If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

He was boadside when I shot and he dropped. There was a golf-ball sized exit wound and there was a little damage to the spine which is why he dropped. My gun is zeroed at a touch over 100 yards and I don't like holding off of hair so the shot, just like on the boar, was a little high.
