Date: 12/1/98

Weapon: 6mm Ruger

Distance: 250+ yards

Place: Rankin, Tx.

Scene: On my first mule deer hunt to west Texas, I just couldn't pass up this nice whitetail. It was an unseasonably warm Sunday morning so dad and I just got in his truck and cruised to a part of the lease that nobody hunts. You can guess what happened next.
