Meat for the freezer

[Eric Krewson]

I have hunted a bunch this year, got busted by the wind, seen a few times, passed on a number of very small deer.

This one stepped out at 6:10 this morning, I could barely see my sights, she went about10 yards after the shot.

Haines rifle, .54, 85 gr of 2F, dry wool wad, .530 ball wrapped in .018 pocket drill patching, 30-yard shot.

Well done Eric, she's a nice one.

Very nice. I wish I had my 30 yr old eyes again, I just can't see the rear and front sight along with the target other on a bright sunny day.

Congrats on the deer!

Nice. Keeping it or giving to a needy family?

Congrats on the deer!

Which is why I put a Williams peep on my rifle I use for deer. Works great.

Congratulations Eric
It’s been way to be warm here for much action. But cold temps are coming so hopefully some like that will come wandering near the stand!

My blind is 30 yards from the back door, the doe was standing in the middle of the food plot when I shot her. I used my tractor to recover the deer, can't drag one at all anymore.

Well done Eric.

Very nice size for the fridge!! Tasty.

Much prefer a healthy doe from our property like that. They are full of soy beans/corn from the fields. We are surrounded by large fields, I tried food plots but they get ignored because of the abundance of food nearby.

Very good there, Eric. Good shot placement for a RB as well. Should be some fine eating.

Congrats to you.
