Good job on a nice deer. ;D

I have been carrying my new 20ga USH here in Georgia lately to practice for my upcoming trip to Southern Ohio. yesterday morning I had a beautiful  eight point with a chocolate colored rack come by at 50 yards. You would have thought I had been hunting 30 minutes instead of 30 years because I jerked the trigger and missed clean. I was also using the SSTs and wanted to know how it would do on a deer. You answered that part for me.

Good lookin' buck.  Our early shotgun season just ended. The only luck I had was finally catching a trespasser standing over a dead doe. Scared the heck out of him and let him go, this time.
