BC, Leverevolution, 2 shots=2 deer
« on: November 20, 2009, 03:05:43 PM »
Went out to the boss’s farm today.  He said he has been seeing lots of does and yearlings and the herd needed to be thinned.  Jumped at the chance because I haven’t yet had a chance to drop the hammer on my BC.  Loaded the sweety with Leverevolution and found me a good tree to sit by.  Lots of low underbrush. About 7:30 a mature doe appears about 50 yds.  I picked an opening and she politely stopped right in it.  I had to lean right to get a clear shot.  I hit her toward the front of the shoulder.  She ran about 35 yds with the front running gear not working and disappeared in the brush.  I saw movement back to the left, reloaded, stood up, and dropped the hammer right behind the shoulder of a button buck.  He ran about 20 yds.  Both shots exhibited pure havoc on the vitals.  Found pieces of jacket in both deer. Of course both bullets exited.  I thought I was going to have a lot of wasted meat.  Such wasn’t the case.  Only lost about a pound on both deer.  I like big, slow moving bullets. Does the job and hardly wastes anything when I do my part.  Leave a blood trail even I can follow.  Like I said in my last post, “I’m really going to enjoy this relationship.
This is the day the Lord has made.  I choose to rejoice and be glad in it.

Very nice.

In ten hours I'm taking my Handi .45-70 out to try and do the same thing.

Nice shootin! I really like the ftx bullets.
