This morning at my parents farm in Kentucky. Win 1894 in 38-55. About a 20yd shot after he passed under me. In through the left shoulder and out the front. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm160/30CalTy/IMG_5147_zps4zpagrvu.jpg I could use a 38-55. Nice rifle. |

Nicer Muzzle loader. Details please? Thanks! She was small, but has turned out to be very tender.
My muzzleloader is a Thompson Center White Mountain Carbine. Previous owner was my longtime GF's uncle, and a good friend of mine. We used to go shooting together a fair amount. He hunted a lot with this rifle during the VA muzzleloader season when he was younger and before he had some back and knee issues. We never had a chance to hunt together, and he passed away very unexpectedly last year. I received the rifle from his estate, so decided I'd make this year my first hunting muzzleloader. It is a very handly little carbine. The sights are modern, express style iron sights. Very fast on target, but not the best for long range target work, which is fine because I don't plan to shoot much past 50 yards with this particular rifle. My hunting load is 80 grains of 777 behind a T/C Cheap Shot 240 gr lead sabot with a CCI #11 primer. I started shooting the Cheap Shots for practice and to get a rough regulation on the sights, but the carbine really liked them, and several posters on various forums mentioned these worked well for deer sized game. I can't argue with the performance, since I hit the doe at 40ish yards and she was DRT and 240 grains of relatively soft lead makes a pretty nice exit hole. |

This is my first deer! Just got into hunting a few years ago, but this year was the first year I was able to deer hunt. Got him on my third morning in the pouring rain. Awesome experience, and he's been good eating too.

6.5 Grendel getting it done. Blew the heart in half of the bigger one and the little one would only give me a head shot. Shot her thru the shoulders and thru the throat. Worked out fine.

I had this Tikka, loaded magazine and empty chamber next to me and headed to Logan County Oklahoma around 3am.
 I shot a buck exactly 30 minutes after sunset and literally was down to the last second to make a legal shot. I shot him from ~250yds with Tikka T3 270wsm using Winchester Deer Season XP 130 bullet. I don't own a pickup so I tied it to the roof of my Prius. https://youtu.be/GYQ3lQl5vQs The green is from the LED light on my cap. The deer was facing me running and briefly stopped to jump a fence. I aimed for the neck but he turned just as I was squeezing the 2# trigger. I shot the shoulder with a polymer ballistic tip and ruined the roast.  Bone shards went into the lungs.  To load the deer onto the car, I had the ass-end, my little brother had the head. As we lifted the deer, my brother started laughing and dropped the head, thereby allowing the bloody ass-end to slather gorp all over the rear passenger window.  The blood froze; I drove the buck to my house and let it sit overnight on the roof of my car.  LungShot Jr posing with a smiling dead deer before driving to Union City to have the deer processed.  Made it. We had to drive through OKC and Mustang to get to Union City. People were taking pictures and laughing. My son was laughing. I don't own a pickup and wasn't going to put the stinky old deer in inside my precious Prius. |
