Rainy day!!

It rained hard here today. About 6pm it cleared and the sun came out. I took my oldest boy and the 243 Striker out for some late evening hunting. We saw a small one as we entered the front field and got parked. We set up and waited a little but he never came back out. We then crossed the tracks and worked our way down the lond field to about the mid point. I spotted a charlie a ways down. I told Buddy to stay still I was going to move ahead a few more yards to get a little height advantage from a little roll in the field. I was able to set up quick and get a decent shot off. Buddy came over after the shot and says "I know you got him as I saw him flip over and drop flat". We checked the distance at 141 yards. The bullet entered the back edge of his lower neck and exited the lower jaw, well what was left of the lower jaw and neck. The 75gr V-Max does put a hurting on them.
