I got my spike on opening day, Friday after Thanksgiving.
Unit 7E, 12:45, 270 yards, Remington 700 30-06, 180 grain Barnes Triple Shok bullet, one shot, double lung. Unlike the handgun story, no "twitching" was involved.....
I shot from above the rock outcropping above my left shoulder across the canyon. He stood there for a few seconds after I shot, then tumbled down the side of the hill he was on.
Note the entrance at 6 o'clock and the exit at 12 o'clock
The bullet was in the skin just above his right shoulder
Entrance wound after skinning...
Backstrap roast and fajitas for dinner after skinning.....
Breakfast backstrap steaks to go with our eggs...
After boning, right around 205# of meat in the freezer
