KY buck down!

[koger]

Yesterday evening the wife and I were hunting a big hay field, she texted me and asked me if I was ready to go, I told her to give it 10 more minutes, then we would be out of light. I only needed 8, he walked out of the woods by a bush i had ranged at 165 yds. I put my 150 yd BDC hash mark on him, since I was aiming downhill and would shoot a little higher. As I pulled the trigger, he flew backwards, and landed on his back, all 4 legs straight up, then flopped over, DRT. I was very happy to shoot the buck, small 6 pt, #140 gutted, and mud fat. I have to get around on 2 crutches, due to being crippled up from 3 strokes, but have a burning desire to deer hunt, and my wife works with me to make it happen, I am truly blessed in more ways than one. I was using a TC Omega with a Harvester brand crush rib sabot, and a .451-300gr PT, copper jacketed ballistic tip, Harvester brand also. I was using BH 209, 100grs, running the bullet about 2100fps. I hit him quartering hard towards me, thru the shoulder, top of the heart and both lungs, blew a 1 inch exit hole.This made the 26th deer I have killed with the 300 gr, from 30 yds to 280, drilling thru both shoulders, and have never recovered a slug, the penetrate like nobodys business. I will send some pics to TBG for him to post. This made my 83rd deer with a muzzleloader. Thanks for listening.

Nice work Koger,you are an inspiration sir. I hunted last season with a broken femur,they put a rod in it from the knee to the hip and screwed the hip ball and knee back on,surgeon told me to take it easy. He was dumb entropy believe me when I said I would [smilie=p:[smilie=p:[smilie=p: 1

Atta' boy Koger! Happy for you!

Congratulations koger! That's some fine eating.

I have been in the hospital for the last 5 weeks so I missed ML season. I hope to make gun season.

Swingblock. I went through the same thing back in April 2010. I was getting around pretty good by gun season but got the doctor to sign off paper to hunt from vehicle. That was nice. Drive out the ridge to a swag where the aways cross shot one and call in the crew to retrieve it.

Nice buck koger. And a fair distance for a muzzle loader at that. I have a T/C White Mountain that's accounted for it's fair share over the past 20 plus years. I picked up an Omega as well and glad I did. Once you've found the right load for an Omega, you'll look no farther for anything better in a hunting rifle.

That buck had been eating well for sure. I'm in Oklahoma and once upon a time, all deer had varying degrees of fat on them. I live in timber company, back in the 70's clear cut's came into play. Plenty of deer here, just not many with any fat on em'.
