I got a nice 9 pointer tonight....
Well team, I got a nice buck at 5:10pm tonite with my Thompson Center Omega .50. It has 9 points plus a little nub, but I don't think it's long enough to count as a point. I don't know how to score it though. It was about a 50yrd shot with a 250gr hollow point. .45 cal sabot in front of two 777 50gr pellets. Either my scope was off or my bullet struck a small branch. Hit him hi under the spine and he went down hard. I then put one through the neck and it was all over with. I called him in with a grunt tube and he came right to me.

He looks huge. What did he field dress out to?

They didn't have a scale where I checked him in at. I'm guessing 175-200. But that's a guess. I would say 175 to keep it real. I killed a big 7 point one year and it weighed 195 and I believe was a little bigger than this one..
Sorry fella's. Our season has come and gone. We got three deer but unfortuneatelyI was not one of the shooters.

I found almost a whole pack of 250gr ShockWaves I didn't know I had. the plain ones. I may use them to tag a doe or two next week since I have to re zero anyways. I removed my scope cause my Omega needed a good cleaning. Should be able to tag a doe no problem as long as the weather don't get crazy & force 'em to lay low.
