Elite Does Its Job
 

Yesterday morning drizzle 46* around 90 yds saw a flicker of white while still hunting picked up scope and saw a deer. It was about to behind a blow down and I kinda rushed the shot.When smoke cleared I made out the deer going uphill couldnt tell if it was hit. Itried to locate where he was when I shot but with every thing wet I couldnt be sure so I started criss crossing the area I thought he went looking for blood.I wasnt seeing any sign of a hit anywhere for the hell of it I looked for the densest area nearby and started looking I thought I caught a glimpse of white but lost it while making my way over to where I thought it was.I was about to give up and sit for a while ,I did a 360 look around before going back and saw the deer dwn about 35 yds from me. I was surprised to see it was a buck that had dropped his horns already but was still happy more for the freezer. I was using my Disc Elite with 100 gr BH and 250gr Deep Curls. Still have time to use the Accura for the next one hopefully good year for me so far 2 with bow and 1 so far with muzzie.

Good going, Steaks !!

Nice. Congrats. Sucks that he dropped his horns already.

Good eats!!! Congrats!!

HA

nice job, congrats!

Congratulations on a nice deer. That should be some excellent eating. And way to hang in there and look for it. Sometimes you just have to think like a deer to find one.

Congrats!! Dem horns wouldn't have been 2 big anyways.

Good going gman. Is that the entry wound just above the right leg? What kind of wound channel did you get?

Gongrats and that young buck will be good eating. I'm not surprised about them losing their antlers already. I found a 4 pt shed between Christmas and New Years here in PA.
A little surprised about the statement you made seeing a flicker of white and looking thru the scope. Pretty dangerous my friend. It could have been some bonehead with a white handerchief (or me taking a dump in the woods). And I sure know I wouldn't want a 50 cal suppository. You're much safer using binos to verify.

What cayugad said. Glad you didnt give up looking for it. Good job and congrats gman57. :happy0001:

Congrats on the buck.

It's still open season down in L.I?! I had no idea.

Glad the Elite came through for you!

Semi it exited behind opposite leg and didnt really hit anything so damage was minimal but he dropped about 75 yds away .

Bronko true about using scope and I generally check things out with binocs but I thought it was a deer and I wouldnt have had a shot if I took the time to get binocs out check then get rifle up.

3 Seasons we have a special shotgun/muzzle season in Suffolk county mon-fri after the first weekend of January till the end of the month.You have to get in a lottery for a reservation date on one of the DEC spots. Then for the rest of the days you show up at the DEC check sta and they pull names out of a hat for any spots that are open where people didnt come in for their reservation on time. I usually get lucky and get a spot when I go.
