Hunted a field edge spot last night in MD. I was going to just sit on the ground under a tree in my JX-3 but there was a slight dip in the field and I really didn't have a good view from on the ground. So, I just found a tree and hooked up at ground level with my JX-3. Sitting up in the air a bit was enough to get me a good view and I like using the JX-3 bridge as a rest.
About an hour before last light a group of does came out and I shot the biggest at 65 yards. It was 38 degrees, so I decided to let her lay and see if anything popped out in the remaining time. About 30 minutes later a big group of does came out at 200 yards. Then, I pulled my binos and realized this buck was in with them. I got a good range at 215 yards. I have a winchester xpr in 350 legend (the county I hunt in MD only allows straight walled cartridges). He was quartering to and I put one through his neck and shoulder. It didn't pass thru but he dropped on the spot.
