.jpg?width=450&height=278&crop=fill) Small North Carolina buck for my birthday,,, Used my FA`s 41 with hot 210XTP handload. Shot was 80yds from elevated box blind on a 1/4 away. Broke a rib, mashed bottom of both lungs, just about split heart in half (pic below) and broke another rib on exit. Love my Freedom 41...................... PS- found an discontinued old/new stock Burris 2-7X Electro Dot scope at my gun shop that has a tiny red point at center of cross hair that was perfect for the low light at sunset when those cross hairs desolve in the oncoming darkness...

Congratulations!
I'm hoping to take one this year with the Ruger 41 that I built for my grandfather 15 years ago. It's now in my possession, and it's past due for it to draw it's first blood.

Happy Birthday!
You must have been a bit east of me to hunt with a firearm already here in NC. My gun season in the mountains is still about a week away!
Looks good though!

I kinda figured you were in our far eastern section. More deer, & more liberal hunting rules. You do know you could take up to (6) deer in one day. Whack a few more!  So far,, I've only been able to archery hunt & muzzleloader hunt. My western section doesn't get gun season for another week. But statewide,, you are allowed (6) deer a season, AND they can all potentially be taken in one day. The most I ever got in one day was (4). But I've doubled a lot in the past. I did get a 5 pt earlier this year with my crossbow,, and if I had wanted to try it,, I could have taken a spike at the same time. I passed. I had 4 bucks come out at one time. I got the 5 pt,, and when I shot,, it spooked them a little, and the spike actually came closer to me, stopped & looked around as if to say; "WTH?" Good job getting that buck! (I bet the NC folks you were around weren't too sure about a yankee from Jersey using a handgun!) |
