In an effort to get ready for deer season, I fired off a few rounds with a weatherby vanguard chambered in 270.
Last year I took an 8 point white tail deer with this rifle. The kick is a LOT less then my Remington 280 BDL mountain rifle.
This is the video story of taking the deer with this same rifle. I still have some back strap and deer sausage from that evening.
As I was dragging that deer out of the woods, I had to stop and take several rest breaks. In all, I bet I drug that deer a 1/4 mile. There was just something about that evening - looking up at the stars, with deer in tow. It was one the most memorable evenings & hunts of my life.
