Good luck keeping at it guys, my season came to an end Sunday. I hunted with my boys over the weekend and was able to take a couple of does, one on Saturday with Hunter in the stand with me and one on Sunday with Garhet in the stand with me.
Both were great hunts with short blood trails, actually not much blood at all, but short none the less.
The first pick is of the deer I shot with hunter on the stand with me, a big ole girl that dressed out at 125#'s. Shot was quartering towards at 23yds, destroyed one lung, liver and exited about the last rib.We seen her tip over after about a 45yd death run.

This one is of the deer shot Sunday with Garhet in stand. Shot was quartering towards at about 15 yds, same results--destroyed one lung and liver exiting last rib. She made a 30yd death run and tipped over.

I shot 4 deer with the Slick Trick mags this year and had a combined track of about 220yds. I seen 3 go over in sight and had one run about 100yds. I had terrible blood on all of them, but 3 of them had exit holes plugged. I am amazed at the size of the exit holes, but had some bad luck with things plugging them. I am not bashing the head, I shot 5 deer last year with them and had great trails on 4 of them and the other one was decent. I just threw out the blood trails as an observation, I guess you can't complain when they are tipping over so quick eh?
Well good luck to everyone still hunting and happy holidays to all!
