Pass through on a small deer. 75 grain avs at 960. Didn’t need to track. It only went 30yd, but there was a good blood trail.

Nice shot placement, no matter how small you have some venison. My wife would always tell me to bring back a spike or two point and not no trophy lol. When I got home the first question she asked was it standing or running. It's all about how you take care of it once it's down. Enjoy those butterfly cut backstraps ! Congrats !

Nice, I wonder what it weighed? I’ve had some pretty decent ones running around but it’s not legal to airgun hunt them here.

I normally do head shots in the neighborhood. Just not to cause a scene with the neighbors. This one was about 65 pounds.

I was guessing it was a fairly small one, I wish it was legal here in Illinois. I got a couple good fat ones and honestly using an airgun might get me interested in deer hunting again. I hold about a dozen doe year round.

Nice, I put a 35 cal 800mm barrel on mine and took a buck and a doe with 108gr NSA's last Saturday. Way to go.

I haven’t deer hunted in years, grew up a meat hunter, prefer a nice younger doe or buck. This one here has me thinking about hunting again. I watched him break off 2 apple trees knee high. The video is him knocking all the bark off of my peach trees… I was trying to plant them for me and them to eat.

I feel very lucky they legalized it in Georgia. It has made hunting much more enjoyable for me. Just something about taking down deer with an air gun is a lot of fun to me. Centerfire hunting has gotten a bit boring, but I’ll always take advantage of the resource for the meat. Not that I don’t still get excited about a nice buck if the opportunity presents.

That’s very tempting. Heart lung? I’m still figuring out the limits. Don’t think I would attempt going through a shoulder.

yes, just behind the shoulder, buck at 80 yds - he went 20 yards and tipped over. Doe was at 20 yds, hit same place, ran 100 yds and done.

How fast are you pushing the 108s? I’ve got a mora 357 and have been whacking armadillo with 125zans, I was running around 250fpe.
