A match made in heaven

On November 25th, 2014, at approximately 8am, this seven pointer came upon me at about 60 yards. I raised my .35 Remington Marlin 336 XLR and placed the crosshairs behind it's shoulder. When the hammer dropped, the buck was spun around, got up and dropped 50 yards later. It was an angled shot. Bullet entered almost middle behind the shoulder and exited underneath the opposite shoulder. Everything inside the deer was displaced, no meat ruined, huge blood trail. This is is second harvest this year with this combination. This ammunition and rifle are truly a match that puts deer in Heaven.
