[QUOTE="duckduck84, post: 4546705, member: 15791"] Went and braved the cold yesterday with my buddy from 945 until dark and saw nothing. Finally about 430 I decided to get down and just scout the fields and see if anything was moving. As I walked through the tractor trail between fields I caught movement through the tall grass. Literally crab walked to the edge and saw 4 does feeding in the field. Grabbed my spotting scope to check for antlers or buttons, guessed at least one small one to be a button, but 2 good size does with them. Ranged at 176 yards then army crawled to the edge of the grass. Watched the biggest one for a few minutes until she gave me a decent shot and she dropped right there. 308 tore up the lungs but there was no exit hole. Not sure if it bounced off or what but ended up getting the guts just a bit as well. Got her dressed and cleaned out quick and off to the processor she went. Third for me this season and first time I've killed a deer in November, December, and January. Second I've shot over 100 yards while prone as well lol pretty happy with that. I also swapped to lead free ammo this year and was a little worried about expansion and tracking but every deer has dropped within feet of the shot.
