Calico was hungry!

11 a.m. yesterday, me and Calico ( my .50 cal. TC Firehawk ) got us a very fine Pike Co. Penn. doe. The 250 grain .45 XTP hit her behind the right shoulder, thrashed her lungs and exited her left flank.
She stood there after the shot and walked off tail up! I thought I missed! 50 yards?! She walked towards the base of the ridge I was sitting on and out of my sight. I heard her prancing around and then she crashed .
This was Calico's first day of her first season. Nice way to start! Could not be happier with this rifle.
The load was my standard. 45 cal 250 grain XTP in a Harvester crush rib, over 70 grains of 3f Swiss, lit with a Remington #11. 1575 fps. Bead and aperture sights.

Way to go CR, it’s always a good thing to get one on the ground.

Congrats.

Thanks Gents!
Me and Calico are off to a great start! So glad I took a chance on her.

Congrads! Meat in the freezer is a great thing!

Congrats on the doe!! I have two more weeks to wait for VA. early ML season. It's been so dry this fall all the corn is cut and the soybeans are just about ready, so don't know how that will effect at least one farm I hunt.

Congrats

Way to go!

Nice job.
Walk

That's awesome!

This has been a banner year so far. Got me some REALLY superb rifles. I hope when our flintlock season gets here, I'll have a good story to tell. My .50 Renegade is coming along nicely...
