Using Omega with 3-9x40 Bushnell Elite scope, 2x50 grain 777 pellets pushing a 300 grain Hornady SST.

Didn't really need the scope, since I took him at 30 yards The SST went in exactly where I put the crosshair.

I was baiting a bear with donuts, sitting on the ground behind some log, and this guy showed up instead and started to eat the donuts. I couldn't have that !!!

He was quartering towards, so I shot him in his right chest. Small entry hole, no exit. Didn't find bullet, so I asked the butcher to hold on to it if he finds it. Very little blood trail, but didn't need to track - he fell over 15 yards from the spot, after running back and forth and smashing his head against the trees so hard he shed both antlers (he was a 7 pointer by the way).

Thank you everyone on this board for the very helpful information !

Congratulations on the deer. It sounds like you did everything right and it all worked out for the best... Looks like a good eating buck too..

again, way to go.

Black Bellamy,
You just gave meone real good reason why I shouldn't eat donuts while I'm in thewoods
Congratulations on the 1st of many bucks with your T/C Omega. I love those laminated thumbhole stocks and it's just about as good l@@k'n as your buck.LOL
I see that you're using a safety harness.....good for you!

I do use a harness every time, but this time I only put it on later, so I could pull the sled with the deer much easier (it was a big help).

I didn't wear it for the hunt because I was mainly out looking for bear, and New Jersey prohibits bear baiting unless you are on the ground, and also not in a blind or any kind of manually constructed anything. Unless you are 100 yards away from the bait, then all gloves are off.

Black Bellamy,

Congradulations!!!



The 300gr SST is certainly one of my favorites!
