Well at my honey hole spot; just before dark several doe came out of the swamp ; the doe with triplets for the second year is off the hit list, as her genetics are good. But another large doe that I hadn’t seen before or if I had not often came out; she was very alert and very huffy. I thought she would look great in the freezer for the four of us to eat this winter!
The contender frame I bought off a good friend; the 357 max barrel; the grip; the pacmyer forend with hanger bar, the torx head forend screws and the mold that made the RCBS 358-200 clone boolits all came from members here! And the long eye relief scope as well.
Head on shot at exactly 50 yards; at the shot she fell; got up, ran 5 yards and fell again got up and ran another 5-7 yards fell, got up the third time and ran 2 yards and crashed into a stand of autumn olive; the type with the 6 inch razor point thorns hard as bone.
Destroyed the front shoulder, pulped the lungs and took the top off the heart. More photos when I skin her out, and no recovered boolit as of yet!
One more should fill the freezer against winter shortages!
For this close range swamp hunting I think this contender in 357 max is a very good tool!
