I was able to harvest a nice 6 pt Whitetail in Wyoming. After arriving in WY, we discovered that the area we were hunting was again hit hard by EHD this year, making it two years in a row. It made for tough hunting let me tell you. The disease wiped out most of the older mature deer. The rancher had taken two dump truck loads of dead mature deer, most were bucks, off of his property. So we were a little concerned about the situation. We saw some deer, and the few bucks we did see were all 1-1/2 yr old deer. But I did find this buck. Used my TC Omega 50 cal, shooting 72 grs weighed FFG 777, and a LEE 310 gr .430 cast bullet w/green Harvester sabot. Shot was quartering on at 45 yds. Shot thru the heavy shoulder bone and the bullet ended up on the other side right under the skin. So much for practicing out to 250 yds!
