Another Omega Deer

[GeoR]

Hi all: Here is my story. I took this 8 point buck on Tuesday afternoon at 4.30 in a field bordered on one side by a swamp. It was cold - windy & snowing in my part of Ontario Canada. There was 3 does feeding on my bait pile 100 yards away from tent blind. They were really spooking which I thought was because of tent snapping in the wind. All of a sudden they up & ran into the swamp. While I was sitting there wondering why I passed up some great eating this boy walked out about 40 yards to the upwind side of me. He didn't even glance my way but just stared into the swamp. He stiff walked out to the bait pile staring all the while into swamp. While I started to get a little pissed of at him for not even glanceing my way ( must have seen me shoot before -have forgave him now ). To get his mind off the girls I put a load of 110 grs. T73f - 250 gr. shockwave with yellow 3 petal easy glide sabot capped off by 209 Rem. Kleenbore primer through both shoulders. Females are never going to bother him again. His last act was to kiss the ground that I walk on. To top it off one of his girlfriends came back to the swamp edge to wave at me. Had to take pictures inside as my camera battery wouldn't work in the cold.

Congrats on the nice deer.

Did that 250 grain Shockwave have the new soft tip or the older hard tip?

[GeoR]

As I have had them for 3 years I would guess the hard tip. Dont have any newer shockwaves-sst's to compare.

Nice looking deer. Do you know what it weighed?

What a beautiful deer... And an excellent story as well. Was the exit hole bigger then the entrance hole? Since you hit shoulders, we can finally see if these shockwaves do expand or not when they hit bone. Some say the things just zip right through.

Congratulations on the deer. I would have never let anything that nice walk by me without paying respects either...

I have proof to answer that question. I'll try to remember to take pics and post.

He put his guard down thinking about the girls and wap! It is amazing the affect the girls can have on a guy...

Awesome buck and cool story! I'd also like to hear about how the bullet performed.
