The phone has saved more deer than anything else

Been awhile since we've seen a dog at this farm. Warm weather has them traveling around. My buddy dropped a single dog of the three I called in from over 600 yards away. Big male at 148 yards with his enhanced Savage Impulse Predator 22-250/Nocpix Ace H50R. SJC

This is what happens when you have a bum hand, forgot to take the tripod because you only have one hand to grab the rifle, fall over a fence in your attempt to get a freehand shot at a dog that's been eluding you for months, forget you have a bum hand and can't take a second shot because you can't feel your fingers after cycling the action with your bum hand. To add insult to injury, there were two dogs in the field and my buddy was trying to let me know one dog was sitting 50 yards to my right side the whole time I was trying to sneak into range to get a shot and I didn't see it because I turned my comm's off.

Been there done that, cost me the biggest Adirondack buck I ever saw on opening day about 5 years ago.
