Ol' Cut Ear Is Down

Ol' Cut Ear Is Down - 03/04/13 06:04 AM

This big boy had been eluding me too many times. I finally got him tonight. I used an XLR250 light for the first time tonight. It initially spooked him off, but he came back 10 minutes later and I was able to take him down.

I like my xlr250. You have to shine over them and then come down on them.

That's what I was trying to do, but the light wasn't anywhere near him and he bolted. I left the light on the area for about 10 minutes before he came back. I was planning to use the residual light instead of the brightest part of the beam. I think he was just smart but went against his instinct.

He got hit in the neck. 208 A-Max from a 300WM

Very Nice! I'm trying to find those bullets but they are currently out of stock from everyone I've talked too.

I've pretty much given up finding these. They were hard to find pre-Sandy. I'm just glad I stock piled these awhile back. They are not as effective on pigs as I thought they would be.
