Been reading alot of information on this forum and this is my first post.

I typically only bowhunt, but decide to get into ML. Illinois has a late CWD season in some counties with an over the counter tag for $5, antlerless only. Got this girl after sitting for 2 hrs. and decided to still hunt before leaving. Notice movement ahead and saw the deer with her tail up. I probably push her, but she wasn't sure where I was. She moved back toward me and gave me a 30 to 40 yard broadside shot. Hit right behind the front leg with an exit wound low and in front of the opposite leg. Exist hole looked no bigger than the entrance wound. It ran about 25 yards and dropped. Very good blood trail.

Using a Remington Genesis, 2 - 50 gr. Pyrodex pellets, and 295 gr. powerbelt. I have since picked up a TC Encore, so might sell the Remington, but so far it is accurate at 100 yds with both PB's and sabots.

Regards. Joe
