Well, it's a couple days early, but things don't always go EXACTLY as planned!
This morning I hunted a tree I'd never hunted before. It's at the intersection of two logging roads, and there's a powerline cutting about 20 yards behind it. I actually chose it because I was going to call for Coyotes at dawn, but I spotted this guy with my binocs 5 minutes after legal shooting light began. He was looking straight at me, and all I saw was those white, tall, wide horns. He had some ground shrinkage with short main beams and crab claw G3s, but I'm not in any big buck contests!

Good observation, Cecil. I knew I couldn't sneak one past you.
It was a quartering toward me shot, and I broke one shoulder and took out one lung. I'm sure it would have died, but I gave him the coup de gras.
It's a Ruger M77 Compact in 260 REM, with a Leupold 2-7X33. Love the gun and caliber, especially when tree stand hunting. It weighs less than 7 pounds with scope. 16.5" barrel easy to manuever. Boy, the muzzle blast sure was pretty at 6:40 am!
