Well, it's been a slow start for me this year, but I connected on this guy this morning. Not a monster, but I am looking forward to the steaks - he will be nice & tasty.

For those who are curious, the rifle used today was my Ruger 358win using 200gr Hornady SP in front of BL(C)-2. Dropped him in his tracks.:cool:

Happy Halloween!
:biggrin:

Well Jeremy, one secret with blacktails is to get off 'the path' and into the timber.:wink:

200gr jacket bullets are kind of 'standard' for the 358win. However, I will probably be using a 160gr cast bullet (OMA) out of it next year - when I get some time to fine tune the load.

To be honest, that 200gr out of the 358 does less meat damage than a 165gr out of my 308win. But yes, I didn't have to track him.:cool::lol:

james maybe you need a larger rifle. bigger gun bigger deer. amazing an old round like a 358 had enough power to stop a deer. congrads those black tails are tricky to find.
