1st One This Year - 24hourcampfire

Got my first deer of the year today. Pennsylvania lets us old guys hunt with a centerfire rifle the last 3 days of the early muzzleloader ie doe hunts. 300E with an EG stock 1x4 Leupold aka Loggah. 40 grains H4895 with a 150grain Win. PP. 125 yard head on quartering shot coming downhill, moving. Tried between front legs, was a little slow, hit behind shoulder, through liver, out opposite side, broke hind leg above knee. Went, fell, rolled 20 yards. Dry doe, don't know if yotes got the fawns or what.

Nice work.

Looks like a straight up EG to me?

Great picture and likely some fine eating their. What defines old guys for that doe season? GW

20 inch barrel aand no round counter.

65 and up

The Oct. 23-25 hunt in Pennsylvania also allows Pa residents currently serving active duty in the military, disabled hunters with "hunt from vehicle" permits and Juniors 17 & under to participate in this hunt.

and 65+

Antlerless only.

Still a nice hunt though.

My daughter killed one last night with her Savage model 11 223.

Damn cell phone would take pics though or would have posted them...

Great job. Nice looking rifle. Congrats.

Good looking rifle Mike.

Nice looking rifle there!!

the 20" barrel makes them handle well, nice doe also !!

99guy, was it her first? Good for her. And good to hear that you have a young hunter in the family.

Nice going. 300 E (eEliminator)!!!!!!!!!!! Backstrap and eggs for breakfast???????????

FIXED IT!!

LBK, backstraps and eggs sound good but I really love the "eliminator" with a capitol E!

Loggah, you are the one responsible for the stocks. When I saw the pic of yours I had to have one. It looks bigger in my hand than yours does in your hand though.

Mike

I repaired my first post.

you mean this little bitty rifle!!

That be the one! I never get tired of looking at it.

Mike

Don, is that big nut off something Savage built? David

Not unless they built a 2500 H.P. Fulton Diesel engine, well they were made in Fulton N.Y. dont know if thats near Utica or not !!!!!

Probably not. I got that stuff we talked about off to you today. David
