One last deer down with the Omega.
 
Shot a good size doe this past Sat. morn with my Omega, 90 grains RS, and a 240 gr. XTP Mag (.452). It was during the late winter antlerless season in IL. The shot was only about twenty yards and I was sitting on the ground behind a deadfall. She only ran about forty yards. The sad part was watching a big ten point and a big eight point walk by ten minutes later and all I could do was watch.

Well, watching gets your heart pumping regardless. Congrats on the doe.

Where did you hit her, and what did the bullet do?

Been there, done that!! Or should I say, "experienced that"??? Hahaha.

Congrats on the late-season doe. Wish I were still hunting...

Congratulations on the deer. I have been in the same hunting boots. Antlerless only and then see a buck that you can not touch.

I'm having just the opposite problem. I need a doe for the freezer but our club has decided to leave the does alone this year because our herd is down. All I'm seeing is does - no bucks.

Hit her just behind the right shoulder almost perfectly broadside. It broke a rib and went straight through. I will post pics but only took ones of the inside.


left is entrance and right is exit
