My son was blessed today, he was able to use his tag, with the season coming to an end and we had passed on this little guy on three different occasions, my son said today if he gets a shot he was going to take it so I made it happened, weapon was a CVA Optima, with 3 T7 pellets, topped with a 250g HORNADY, with a W209 primer, the weapon was loaded on 12/12/14, the bullet was recovered, now for the story we made a stalk up a hill knowing were he likes to bed, I found him with the binoculars and headed his was, made it to 80 yards, my son settled in and the buck stood up, the ML went off and saw that a bad shot was made but he dropped were he stood, the little guy got gut shot, but expired buy the time I got to him, when cleaning him out there was a mess the bullet is no joke, we shot the weapon to see if it was off but it was operator error, I am just glad that no tracking was involved, just wanted to share my first ML experience, and to thank everyone for there help here with my questions
