Had a mulie doe tag burning a hole in my pocket.
Went out to my buddy's ranch(es) to look for one.

Long story short. As the sun was going down I decided on a nice doe that stepped out of the corn field. Distance was 30 yards, hardly a task for my 7mm WBY Euromark.

The 120 TTSX hit the doe at 3500 fps . She was quartering away hard. Behind the shoulder and out the neck. The surprise was that she ran 30 yards in the cornfield before expiring.

Now that said there was a blood trail that even Ray Charles could follow! Blood EVERYWHERE!

Need less to say I am happy. Another Bee blooded!
 
Congratulations, Fotis! Excellent table fare for you and the family.
 
Outstanding Fotis!
Great shooting!
The Mule Deer fork I shot when I was last up there, took 3 shots from a 300 Win Mag, and still didn't die fast enough!
If that's an indicator?!?
They're tough!

That's the strange thing you can get several bang flops then one just does a death dash. Unles the brain, neck or spine is hit. Glad you were able to get your doe FOTIS but I bet you wish you could of stretched the range a little, but that's hunting.
 
Good job Fotis a nice fat doe makes for some great table fare (y).
Man 3500fps that is laser speeds my friend :wink:!

Blessings,
Dan
