South MS buck.

[megalomaniac]

I can't believe this fellow stepped out yesterday afternoon at 4:15... it was 83 degrees, I was hunting in summer clothes, and even had to take off my boots my feet were so hot. First buck I've ever shot shoeless .

250y down the powerline with the 6.5WSM. seeing my truck froze him facing me, so I just dumped him in his tracks. 140g Bergers at 3290fps.

I thought he was going to be an average 4.5yo for down here, but his jawbone looks 3.5. Still happy with him, one of the best bucks I have on camera this year locally.

Congrats mega, way to persevere, stay with it and execute the shot. I could believe 4.5 with that jawbone.

I don't think there is enough wear on the last premolar to call him 4.5... there is some wear on the 2nd molar, but I like to use the 3rd premolar to steer me when I can't decide between 2 ages.

27in, 62.5g Re25.

DONT use these numbers, it is on the very edge of what is safe. I usually have a slightly sticky bolt lift and mild ejector marks.
