8 pointer i shot opening day of mezzeloading here in NC
 

I harvested this buck opening day of muzzeloading here in NC, date of harvest was November 6, 2010.
I used my .50 cal CVA Wolf with triple seven Pellets (100 grain) and 240 grain shockwave hollow points, he was out about 75 yrds and run about 40-50 yrds after the shot, after getting the deer out of the woods and ready for processing we found the bullet in side the deer and was mushroomed out perfectly and done massive damage to the inerds.

heres one of me and the the 8 pointer at the tag in.

Congrats! :)

Congrats man! That a picture perfect mushroom. Can't complain about that.

congrats on your great Harvest! :-)

Your Bullet? Is it possible that it was actually a 240 gr XTP? A great Mushroom with evenly spaced petals, and a hint of canular looks a lot like a XTP and not a Shock Wave. Shock waves are Plastic tiped bullets.

Great looking smile in that first photo.

You a twisting statements again - which you are really good at, I do not think anyone has said 'can't kill' - I do think there are folks that say there are much better performing bullets than an XTP in most given situations...

I think that is the quote on the bullet that Lance was using not an XTP - but to tell you the truth I did not know there was a HP Shockwave unless you remove the tip.

Fine looking buck. Where in NC where you at? I hunt Sampson and Duplin Counties a few times a year myself.

Very nice buck... that will be fine eating there.

Nice going Lance and welcome to the site.

hey thanks yall i hunt yadkin county well actually i hunt about 2 miles from where the county record deer was shot last year that scored 180 or so.
