| i was using hornady sst sabots, and(in 3 shots) i can shoot baseball sized groups at 50 yards, without any type of bench or shooting rest. Very accurate, i think, and a nice wound channel, the bullet went thru both lungs and basically made them unrecognizable and took out a nice chunk of the heart as well. Not sure how she did it but she still ran about 100 yards after being hit |

Congrats!! Nice size doe, I wish the one I got on Thursday was that big...
The only disappointment I have is... Where is your blood face??? Dont you know you are supposed to wear the blood of your first kill to become one w/ the animal and become a successful hunter! Go out in that gut bucket and rub some blood on your face right now!

Our season opens in five days. Hope I see one that nice!

I was 17 when I got my first deer. It was a scrappy spike with deformed spikes that looked like twisted sprouts from a grape vine but I remember that day like it was yesterday, I could not have been more excited. It was, to this day, one of the most memorable moments of my life.
Congrats to you! This is a defining moment in your life. You will remember every detail until the day you die. Savor it! ETA: thats a big fucking doe! |
