He was facing me, went in his neck, came out his right hind quarter, only shot I had. He was about 40 yards. The 32-40 Hornady 165 grain did the trick. I can see since I had cataract surgery.

Outstanding! Beautiful buck. I had the surgery earlier this year too, so am hoping to test out peep sights in a hunting situation.

Nice critter Hanco! Did you get him today? Man it’s like 80 degrees down here on south end of county.

Very nice! That's pretty impressive penetration too.

Nice critter Hanco! Did you get him today? Man it’s like 80 degrees down here on south end of county. Got him yesterday evening, had seen him five or six times, but not close for iron sights. That old thing was made in 1908. It has been reblued, stock refinished, half round, half octogon barrel. It is a ton of fun to shoot.
