Thanks guys, I appreciate it! I feel very fortunate to have taken this buck.

310 yds is by far the longest shot I have ever taken on a deer. I felt confident as I had my rifle zeroed in and just felt good about the shot. Now the 310 yds is not official, that is tator steps and my steps may have been shorter than 310.
