Got it done in the high wind!

Just a shout out to my hunting buddy, @Hemoglobin_97, on a great shot yesterday. Montana plains muley hunting. We were out all day, with the exception of a lunch break. It was extremely windy all day, with the wind picking up after early morning. Sustained wind of about 30 mph, with gusts over 40. We were hiking, coulee-hopping, and we were consistently finding deer. On a day when many hunkered at home, we got at it, and were successful. A little over an hour before dark, he got a nice buck. It wasn’t as big as he thought it was, as he had little time to evaluate. But he accomplished a beautiful shot at 400 yards in a 30 mph crosswind. 130 TMK out of his 6.5 PRC. Held on the tail, and it drifted right into the shoulder.

I can’t believe you stopped to take a lunch break.

Kidding that’s a great buck. Sure does feel weird holding off an animal for a wind call. Nice work. and sweet buck!

Nice shot and a solid buck! Was blowing that hard and then some in my neck woods the other day and it cuts down your effective range very fast
