Just got back from hunting a friends place in IN for a week. Got a doe and a forkhorn. Missed a shot on a really nice buck. Just shaved hair off his chest. Estimating range there was weird. Their deer or so much bigger than ours that they seem closer.

All were with a Rocklock .50 PRB over 80Gr FFG

got this guy on the last day I hunted. I was sitting on the ground on the bank of one side of a ditch in between 3 tress that were growing right next to each other. He came in on the right, from the completely opposite direction I expected them to be coming. He was walking along the bank opposite to me. So I was trying to ooze my gun around to get him lined up and had it pretty well around when he spotted me and started staring. At that time I only had the gun around and not my other arm. I did'nt know what else to do so I leveled the gun and shot him one handed. lol.. If it had been more than 10 or 15' away I would never even consider doing something like that. But I got a clean double lung and a blood trail a vegetarian could follow. Lungs were complete mush.

Got this big doe on the first day, actually, within 6 hrs of arriving. It was a bit of a longish shot. 76yds through a small gap in the trees as she came down a trail along the river. DRT

This is on the way back down the river after bagging the doe. I just thought it was a neat picture.

Nice kills. Good looking gun too. I love waiting for the smoke to clear to see if the deer is down or not.....

 

[Supercracker]

lol I know. When I shot the doe I did'nt see her run off and was looking all around to try to catch her running away. It wasn't til the smoke cleared I could see legs sticking up in the air. lol

I also shoot birds with a black powder double. I've gotten into a rhythm of Shoot, take a step to the side to see around the smoke, shoot again. Takes some getting used to. lol
