Virginia gun opened 11/18/23 and I didn’t go , left the following day to go to WV for their opener on the 20th . Got back to VA on the 22nd . But didn’t go out the first time in VA during gun season until the 24th . This little fellar succumbed to a Hornady 139 SST handload in a Mannlicher Schoenauer MC carbine in 7x57 with a nice old Leupold Vari XII 2-7x on top . Shot him at about 7:45 AM at 75ish yards he made about a forty yard death run and saw him roll as I was perched about thirtyfive feet off the ground in a tree .
