It's been tough for us so far this year and hadn't seen a lot of deer. The good Lord blessed me this morning. I saw a decent 2.5yo with a broke side tending and chasing a doe early this morning. About 7:35, I caught this guy cruising above me about 75 yds. I knew he was a shooter as soon as I seen him but wasn't sure how big. I found an opening and shot when he stepped in it. He ran right towards me and thought I had missed. I missed him at about 50 yds the second shot and then shot him again as he ran by at 30 yds. I spined him and he came to a sliding stop nearly under me. I ended up making a good shot the first shot after getting to him. I thought he was a little bigger when I looked at him through the scope under me, but I'll take it. I got to break the new 7mm-08 7600 in.

Another thing is that I hunted 26 years before killing a mainframe 10 in 2017. I have now killed one the last 3 years.

Thanks for reading.

Larry, I don't see any ground shrinkage with that buck. Congrats on a great 10 pointer!!!

I wouldn't saw ground shrinkage nor that I was unhappy. I am tickled to death me. He just looked a whole lot bigger when he fell under me. I argued with my son through text all day on how big he was as he thought I was pulling his leg. I will take him and blessed to be able to have the opportunity.

I love the gun. They made very few 7600s in 7mm-08 and even fewer with the gray swirl stock. I let one go a few years ago on gunbroker and hadn't saw another one until last year. I paid way too much for it and nearly too pretty to bang around in a tree stand, but I did buy it to use. It is probably one of the prettiest guns that I have seen. It will never take the place of my 760 30-06 though that I bought used when I was 16 and killed a bunch of deer with.
