Re: 587 Mulie

Nice. Location? Rifle? Wind? Elevation & windage? Shot placement?

Nice deer. Where do you hunt? A group and I are going out near Terlingua for Mule deer in 2 days. My father-in-law has a place we go to every year.

jwp475, how do you like the zeiss PRF? I was trying to decide between that and the Leica CRF 1200, and ended up ordering the Zeiss.
