RE: Any late season NY slobs hit the ground yet?
Here's a repost of a deer I shot yesterday afternoon.
I went out this afternoon after getting home from classes. I've been seeing deer all year, just no antlers, and no doe tag, so I was eagerlyanticipating ML season. Anyhow, about 4:00 a big old doe ambled along, I let her get about 60yds from me, and I took a shot, slightly quartering to me.
I didn't see the immediate reaction to the shot due to smoke, but I did see the deer booking down the hill, and out of sight. I didn't immediately see any good blood, but I still felt my shot was OK, so I decided to treat it like a bowkill. I went home, and relaxed until about 8:00, gathered my father, and we went out to do our tracking.
We found her about 70yds from the spot of the original shot. Placement could not have been more perfect, right behind the shoulder, nasty entrance wound, no exit. Gutting showed that the deer did all of its bleeding on the inside, hence the lack of a good bloodtrail, but the bullet did a number on the vitals, shredding both lungs. My stand isa heck of a ways back in the middle of nowwhere, so it was a long drag, never got out of the woods until 10:00
Big doe, no meat wasted, and its my first with a ML; I'm tickled
Here's a non-flattering truckbed pic, unfortunatly,there were no opportunities to take a decent pic in the woods.
T/C Omega .50cal
250gr T/C Shockwave
100gr Pyrodex

Nicely done, I'm going to head out this afternoon and try a little doe management myself. I see we are shooting the exact same flamethrower and load, mine is a thumbhole stock but other than that the same.

Here's a nice 140 class 8-pt. that was taken up the road from me this past weekend. I also heard that a friend of my dad's shot a really big buck this past weekend too in the same towm (Pulteney). Don't know very much about that one yet...
I layed the hammer down on this big fat slickhead saturday evening...
