Doe vs. Omega
Shot a doe yesterday afternoon on the last evening of IL's 1st firearms season. Shot her at about 25 yards with (2) Pyrodex Pellets and a 300 grainT/C Shockwave. It was a bang flop. Sad to say, but the doe was not much bigger than the coyote I shot on Friday. Any other hunters opting for the ML when they can use centerfire riflesor shotguns?

RE: Doe vs. Omega
well congratulations of the doe. Them little ones might not be much in volume, but they sure make up for it in taste. We used to shoot a little one (we called them Webers) just for putting the whole animal on a large Weber grill. There was no better eating then that...

RE: Doe vs. Omega
We called them "Camp Deer"
and yes, I do use the ML during the regular gun season...when sitting on the stand. If I'm doggin I prefer the '94. Where I hunt during the rifle season there is no special season for ML's. The first week of Dec I'll be in Southern Ontario (8 hour drive)for a controlled hunt. It is a Shotgun / ML hunt only. No CF riflesallowed. We are not limited by the number of firearms that we can use so I'll be carrying 2 ML's with me. The flinter for the up close stuff and the inline when I need some reach.
