I got it a few days after opening day. I was hunting with my grandpa, using his Ruger .243. It was probably about 4:30 p.m. I hadn't seen a thing before that evening, then as it started to get dark I heard it coming in from my right, I nudged my grandpa and pointed towards it. It wasn't more than 40 yards away when I pulled the trigger. I dropped it right there. I'm now having it mounted, it's going to be about a year before I get it back. It was fun!
