Maxi-ball or round ball?

Chief, I ain’t saying I don’t believe you, I’m just saying that I would like to try and replicate your research. You know, for science.
So if you could just send me a 15 pointer to experiment with, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

I was blessed to cross paths with this buck yesterday afternoon after hunting him since our October 1st archery opener.

I had a few photos of him but like all the older bucks this season (in my woods), they were all at night.

I did see a lot of bucks while out with my recurve but passed up opportunities hoping to find this or a couple other bucks that had visited my place.

The little Thompson Center came through again killing another buck north of 200 pounds.

Double lunged, he managed to lope about twenty yards, then I watched him sway, then drop within 40 yards of my ladder stand.

Good luck to all…..

great looking deer - congratulations!

No offense taken Jay!

Stay put, and I'll send one just like him your way.

Keep your head on a swivel and take a starvation-bead on him with your forty five.

Let us know your results.

PS, go on ahead and get the grease hot.....

Sweet, I have a T/C Hawken .45 caplock and it's one of my favorites. I haven't killed any deer with it but I have shot a few with a .45 Beaver Lodge gun. The results were the same as your's, dead deer. Congratulations on one dandy buck.

 

[NorthFork]

Thanks Greg. 60 grains of 3f Scheutzen and a .440 ball.

What was your shot distance? Great buck and good shooting. Excellent meat!

Very nice deer, sir. I've killed many but none that nice.

 

[zerosprk]

Very nice buck and a non-existent tracking job! What's not to like???
