SBH puts down a nice doe
« on: December 27, 2010, 01:44:08 PM »

I took off a couple hours early from work and shot this doe a little before 5PM. It was pretty cold & windy. She came up thru the hollow and walked almost right to me. It was very thick so I had to wait, then when she hit the opening she came right at me and at 25-30 yds she stopped and spotted me but by then it was too late. I figured I'd share because I thought the picture was nice, even though just a cell phone pic.

Great job! What caliber, where did you hit her and what kind of bullet performance did you get? Thanks for sharing. Charlie

Thanks everyone.
44 mag 240 XTP, she was quartering to me, I broke her shoulder and took off the top of her heart. I didnt recover the bullet, I think it may have lodged in her stomach/guts. She maybe made it 50-60 yds. I followed the last 30-40 yds of her trail and there was not a drop of blood.

Congratulations!  I always like to see a guy (or gal) with a doe and a big smile on their face.  It tells me they get it. ;)
