Success in the field is built long before the shot. This is the story of a brutally cold late-season Minnesota hunt — and the first real field test of the new TenPoint TX Ultra 29.5 paired with the Vision HD scope. From dialing in at 20, 30, 50, 70, and 100 yards on the range to a frozen ground-blind sit watching does and off-limits bucks file past, it all comes down to one moment: a mature, heavy-bodied buck at 66 yards, captured through the scope. Range it, hold on him, and trust the practice.
Built and assembled in Mogadore, Ohio.
0:00 It starts with preparation
0:31 Dialing in the TX Ultra 29.5 and Vision scope
0:47 Range accuracy becomes field confidence
0:58 Fall turns to winter, the hunt is on
1:25 A frozen late-season sit in Minnesota
1:42 Working through the does and off-limits bucks
3:46 The buck commits
4:55 "You smoked him" — the shot at 66 yards
5:44 Putting hands on an old, heavy-bodied buck
6:18 Why it came down to confidence in the gear
6:59 A moment engraved for a lifetime
There's a reason hunters obsess over their gear. When the temperature drops and your fingers go numb and the buck you've waited all season for finally steps out, you don't get a second chance — and you don't want a single doubt in your mind. That confidence is built on the range, in the reps, in knowing your setup will do exactly what you ask of it.
This late-season Minnesota hunt put the new TX Ultra 29.5 and Vision HD scope to that test. After dialing in from 20 out to 100 yards, it came down to a single frigid sit in a ground blind — does milling out front, a couple of "do-not-shoot" bucks teasing through — until a heavy, mature, old-bodied buck gave the shot. Ranged at 66 yards, double-lunged, dropped close. No doubt, just trust in the practice and the gear.
A successful harvest, and a memory engraved for a lifetime.
