RE: This years hits.... (Where you hit yer game this year?)
I have killed 2 deer this year with my smokepole......
# 1. 8 point buck - 25 yards broadside - double lunged- 3 steps and flopped.
# 2. Button buck - 70 yards angling towards, lunged and liver - learned alot on this shot. Hit where I wanted the entrance to be, but it angled back farther than I liked. Should have aimed for the exit. Went 40 yards and piled up.
Love my smoke-pole. In 3 years, pulled the trigger on 4 deer and dropped all 4!

#1 - ???? - Hit LOTS of paper sighting in and getting used to my new rifle
1st Animal - Wild Pig - Sow - Through ear hole at 30 yards. Dropped in it's tracks(offhand)
2nd Animal - Wild Pig - Juvi - Hit through 1 hind quarter on the run at 50 yards. Fell on the spot and died pretty quickly. (offhand)
3rd Animal - Antelope - Buck - Hit lower spine at base of neck at 200 yards - dropped in it's tracks(no rest, cross legged)
4th Animal - Mule Deer - Buck - Double lung - ran for about 50 yards before falling dead - 175 yards (laying on hill with gun resting on legs below me)
5th Animal - Whitetail Deer - Buck - Double lung - ran about 40 yards and fell dead - 125 yards with bipod rest
Shot approximately 75 dove and a few quail and a pheasant with my shotgun. Shot 1 rattlesnake with my .22LR. Shot approximately 50 prarrie dogs with a .17 HMR. Best shot on a prarrie dog was a confirmed 185 yard shot with the .17 HMR.
I think that is about it.

21 pound turkey in the head.
5X4bull elk in the high neck (only shot I had and the shock wave fractured his skull)
8 point deer in the heart
All of them dropped like a stone
