Chad Ramsdell picked up his rifle and got the piebald deer’s front shoulder in his scope. “I hear a loud boom from about 200 yards away.” He helped the hunter find the doe, photographed it and went home for lunch. He headed back out to hunt the afternoon. it was only a few minutes before Ramsdell had deer in front of him. An hour later, he recovered the 130-pound doe, making it a successful day afterall. Last week, Ramsdell went out in search of a buck. A doe came running into view, followed shortly by a buck. “I raised up my trusty Savage .270 and placed it right behind his shoulder and fired.” Losing out on the piebald doe wound up being only one moment from a memorable hunting season.
