Default Bang Flop Doe

Went hunting at one of our places this morning. At about 07:00 i got into in a tree stand overlooking a game trail. At 07:45 this doe came along eating dry grass as she walked. Got a good rest on the shooting rail and fired.

The bullet entered about two inches forward of the diaphram, hit a rib and made a 1 1/4 inch entrance hole. Bullet exited high in the shoulder leaving a huge hole. The heart was blown apart and the liver jellied. The lungs were hardly damaged. The doe hit the ground and was DRT.

Distance: 90-100 yards.
Attitude: Angling away somewhat.

Gun: .50 Encore
Scope: Zeiss Conquest 4X32
Bullet/Sabot: 250 SST/Low drag
Powder: 100 grains of Goex Pinnacle 3F
Primer: Winchester shotgun

Way to go Falcon! Good report - you covered all of the details. (Except one - boxers or briefs?)
