2010 muzzleloader deer
filled my doe tag
shot this doe with T/C Encore...150 grains of american pioneer powder and 250 grain T/C shockwave bullets ( not the easy slider sabbots but the original sabots)
so windy this am wife asked if I even wanted to go in this wind...I said I'm going as this time of year the deer have to move and feed just to maintain body heat
got situated....3 deer came from north (I'd been watching em feed for about 20 minutes..finally here they came and stopped about 100 yrds out..I wanted to shoot with gun rested on mirror but the bioggest lead one turned as to go other way...she knew somthing was up...before they started running back north I just got a rest on the window (in 23 mph wind the van was a rocking so e rest was of little help....aimed the best I could with open sights (no s copes allowed for S. D. muzzy season) and let er buck the 3 of em ran north maybe 10-20 yrds and she dropped....the other 2 ran away..just then 9 more were stopped not 60 yrds straight to my north... I was done anyways
called son Nick to retrieve it for me (woulda been imposible to do in my wheelchair)
he gutted skined and 1/4 my deer for me as he has done with the last about 15 or so
thank Nick and his wife!!!!!!
when skinned down as ya can se it was a pefect shoulder hit....I'm estatic that I was able to shoot that good yet...hell maybe I can get some more????
as long as I can hold a gun aim and squeeze the tigger maybe my hunting days can last another year????
