First Handgun Harvest
« on: November 17, 2007, 06:20:38 AM »
I took this guy using my 15" .308 Encore with Federal 165gr Accubonds.  It was about 5:10 PM when he came in chasing a hot doe.  He was about 70 yds away and was on the ground at 5:15.  What an incredible experience!

Very nice buck!
How did you like the performance of the 165 Accubond from the 15" barrel?
Are you going to take him to the taxidermist?

GOOD SHOOTING!

Thanks!

Slufoot--I was very pleased with their performance.  They shot great and it left a half-dollar sized exit wound.  He is going to the taxidermist but I'm thinking of doing a european mount since the one already on the wall is bigger.  Plus I don't have a 'Man Room' YET.  If I did there would be no question about it. ;D
