Finally bloodied the 45 Super G21 clone with ported barrel and x-heavy spring. Had 2.5 yr old (per biologist) genetically inferior buck come in to 15 yards. 230 gr XTP at about 1150 so more of a plus P load but it shoots well took out top of heart and both lungs. Short recovery. Thanks Roy for introducing to 45 Super….definitely gonna be a frequent companion
Well the last day I get to hunt this season. The little 260 just did what it does. 2 minutes of shooting light left. About 160 yards. I'll measure it next trip to the farm. Same old boring aorta shot. No tracking involved. The oatmeal cream pies worked just fine. 140 Partition.
I went Saturday after receiving the gun. It stay lost in the mail for a little while. I have time to sight it in and head to the woods. About 15 minutes before sunset I had this button show up. It was staying behind some really thick brush so so easy shot. It finally stuck its head and neck into an opening and I had a clear shot at its neck from about 25 yards. One shot and down for the count.
This has been the worst gun season Ive had since the mid 90’s. Rut hit here super ealry this year for some reason. Deer were in lock down mode opening weekend. Wasnt seeing anything. Then full moon had everything nocturnal. Gun season ended without firing a shot at a deer. I did 10 millerize a couple of hogs. But no deer. Holiday doe season started on the 18th. Came back to camp today and went out about 1500. Saw a song dog that I couldn’t get a shot at and a spike. Around 1720 4 does came in. 2 big and 2 small. I picked out one of the nice fat big one. 92 yards on range finder. Got the 6.5 Swede Encore up on the sticks, using my knee under the grip for a rock solid rest. Boom. She went down like a ton of …
Congratulations on the 45 Super harvest.
