Default 2 Doe to finish 2005

Thought I'd share pictures of the 2 Doe I took in our late Blackpowder season. Both were taken at a little more than 100 yds. 2 Pellets -pyrodex. Was shooting a .50caliber Thompson Thunderhawk. With Hornandy saboted .44calXTP240gr JHP.

Both deer ere very appreciated as I had yet to take a deer all season - passed young bucks, missed w/bow - etc. The first dressed 100lbs - the second 110lbs.





Both shotswere pass throughs - the first pic was low in the lungs and I wasn't surprised by the penetration. The second (hanging deer pic) -the doe was quarter towardme - but she was reaching all the way back- licking her hind leg when I shot. It was aodd site picture - as she was contorted - but there was so much vitals exposed that Itook theshot with a good rest. The bullet entered the base of the neck - and passed through. It did not re-enter the deer - and I did not recover the bullet. She was dead before she hit the ground.

Thanks for looking.

FH
