Sunday afternoon
Had some jackwagons ripping thru a brick of 9mm about a 1/2 mile away. Sh! T was gettin on my nerves because I 'm trying to listen for deer moving thru a thicket. Then 400 yards away I got some Corky the slow kid with a red shirt on a honda fourtrax with no muffler. I heard a deer blowing bout 200 yards away. I'm thinkin ain't no damn way that deer is blowin at me, my game is tight and the winds in my face.
Anyway, sure enough I hear this guy trottin thru the mopstick boxelder thicket towards me. I had two seconds to check for ear width. I gave em the ole " meehhhh" and stopped. Vitals were blocked with a pair of 3" trees. I knew he just beside the tree so i wouldnt suffer much deflection. Bullet expanded pre-deer impact, there was not an exit wound. Penetrated deep enough for an atrial ectomy. Deer ran 50 yards and crashed. Blood spray was 5ft high on tree trunks. Ventricles were intact still pumping all his blood out hence the racing stripe.
Savage 10ml II 50cal stock SS bbl-Zeiss Conquest
47 yards
Hornady xtp 250gr jhp
Mmp short skirt (low pressure sabot )
Vitavouri N-120 55 grains rodded with Spinjag
Remington sts 209 primers
As usual with this load- it was a freakin gorey scene- never disappoints
