Got up this morning a little late, made some coffee and hit the woods. I didn't get out in the woods until 7:00 but at least it was a little cooler here in GA this morning. As luck would have it at 7:30 I had a small spike horn on the ground. All it took was one Brenneke 12GA K.O. slug to coax him into my truck
This is a huge relief for me as I've been hunting in new territory. It's been very rough for me due to very long work hours which prohibits me from being able to do any scouting during the pre-season. Then if that isn't enough, Saturday I found out that my deep freezer which is in my garage tripped the circut on the outlet it was plugged into. My wife and I estimated that we lost close to $200 in meat which of course included a lot of venison
I know I've said this before but I really really love how shotgun slugs hammer deer. At the shot he did a back flip and hit the dirt. I am shooting a Mossberg 500A with a 20" barrel with bead sights, which don't make for very precise aiming. The slug hit exactly where I was aiming, right between the shoulders in the brisket, the range was roughly 50 yards. To date I've never had a deer hit with either my 30-30 or my Marlin .44 mag react in the same manner. They always run a a little bit, it's always my luck that they run directly for the thick nasty stuff too.
