New Encore 50 tasted Antelope this morning..

[Les Staley]

And it LIKED it! season is almost over, and today was my last day off during goat season, and me with three tags... had to do it. decided to use the TC Encore.. it's shooting 250 shockwaves about inch-and-a-half at 100.. took a buck at about 100.. he tried following his girl-freinds away, but just couldn't do it. went about another 100 and piled up. a little later sneaking up a ridge, caught two does (could just see the top of their backs) feeding toward me.. KO'd a fat doe when she topped up where I could see her.. guess this rifle will do allright for Michigan ML season in Dec. Les

Pictures

I took a few pix of both antelope, wife will have to be in a good mood to get them into my document folder, then I could e-mail them to someone and they could post them.. if anyone realy wants to see them.. they're just antelope... a buck prolly 14", nothing to brag about, good diggers, but thin above and not much curl down.. doe pix shows blood trail, kinda gruesome... heh, heh..
