Home from Co.
 

Got home last night from SW Colorado, blackpowder, drop camp. Had some action but was a little slower than anticipated. One of the guys,(4 in camp) did take a cow. Thor bullet performed like a champ. Slight quartering to angle. The bullet entered the near shoulder dead center on the large bone that goes to the shoulder blade, destroyed that shoulder, went through both lungs, again, total destruction, then exited opposite side. No bullet recovery but it looked like the bullet held up well as the exit wound was 2" diameter. We were impressed with the outcome. Shot was only 35 yards but considering what we have seen with other bullets this was really good.

TC Encore
.50 cal.
300 gr. thor
.502 dia.
100 gr. Blackhorn powder

Here any bugling? It's silent around here.

Not surprised on the performance of the Thor. Hell of a bullet.

awesome!! The Thors have been tearing it up in Colorado it seems.

pretty good bugling early in the morning, but the bulls were not really coming to calls. they would talk with us for a couple hours but if you couldn't get exactly where they wanted to be they would not come for us. Buy 8:00 am. bulls would be gone for cover. Very little action in the afternoons.

Yeah, that's my style to go after them in the timber during the day.

More time hunting. More fun. :D

Thanks
 

Gotta thank everyone here that helped when we were setting up for this hunt. The Thor bullets are everything they were said to be.

Glad you had a safe hunt. And it sounds like a good time you had. Got pictures?

And worth every penny to when it comes to the actual hunt! 1 shot per animal = 15 animals if'n you shoot like me of course :woot:

you can hunt for free. No shot, no bullet, no cost.

aint nothing free in life. You guys havent heard the horror story of the hunt yet!

Cayugad,
Sorry no pics, yet. I will try when i get settled. I need to spend some quality time with my recliner and a glass of whiskey.

haha i know the feeling, i am still in shock over having a warm comfy bed and space to move around.

I thought muley didn't go with you guys.:s4:

The day I was there Jon was in pain all day.

He couldn't keep up.

:happy0157::happy0157::happy0157:

muley I fixed that problem! My back pack sucked butt, I started carrying my stuff in that huge frame pack and it took care of the problem. We are getting new packs next year, those others just put to much pressure on your shoulders.

I had a pack like that once. It went in the dumpster after the hunt.

that's what a hipbelt is for...

Muley do you think that maybe he was hanging back so as not to be able to whiff your emissions?
