Why do I think what happened? Me not making a good shot on the deer or the slug only penetrating the ground a couple of inches? As far as the shot goes, 100% my fault, I aimed a little too low and the deer's body was moving up as I pulled the trigger. As for the round only hitting meat and only going into the ground 2 inches from 60 yards away? I dont know, and dont really care, Ill be switching slugs. Ive had too many bad experiences with these ones. Stop blaming the slugs and practice more! lol

They are in the second rut, go with the estrous, some big big bucks killed this week chasing does.
-
WoW!

Just got off the phone with my neighbor to the North. He watched a big buck breed a doe last Saturday but had no shot. Saw them again on Sunday and hit the deer but did not find it. Thinks he grazed the leg. Hope they keep it up into the weekend.

Zemm, we love the dogs also. That is my job this weekend to bring home the "dogs!" My neighbor shot a bear last weekend, about 250lbs. It was one of the two we have been seeing. He also hit a huge buck Sunday that was breeding a doe. The late rut is in full swing. Hope it's still going on this weekend. GL

How did you happen upon the slug? I have seen paths that slugs make when hitting the ground, was that it?
-
I'm seeing more and more posts of guys shooting bucks late in the season hot on does. If Charlie A. was right this would be the time for the second rut, may be a good weekend ahead of us boys!

Way to get it done! -
That is weird, never saw something like that before.
-
W, Why do you think this happened?
-
WNYBC, I replied on your other thread but my question is what would cause a factory load to do this and I think it's amazing that you found the slug intact. Were these loads from the factory defective?
-
One thing here I have never heard of was finding the slug after the shot. I could see that happening in a muzzleloader but a factory made load?? What would be the cause of this, has anyone else found slugs after they have shot? I believe the story just can't figure out the cause? Help?

I've been using the copper solids for years in my 12 gauge and for me they are a killing machine, short and long range!
-
Hearing about alot of bucks chasing does right now!
-
Nice buck, so they are still out there in the rut. Hope it continues into this weekend. He is really nice!
-
If I was bordering that place it would tick me off. Let alone they are shooting all those deer but you have a bunch of strangers hunting right next to you. I don't know, we have pages and pages of debate about QDM and AR's and then you hear stories like this. It makes you wonder about our decision makers in power.

I'm having one of those weeks at work, can't wait to fill the tank in the Hoe (Tahoe) and set the trip odometer to 325 miles! 3 days of smoke pole will do me fine!
-
Funny guys!
-
Growing out sideways then up. I wonder what makes the antler turn and go up?

A few seconds can turn a season around

I love this weekend of the season. When you see them they are usually in big groups by now. It's a nice way to end the season usually! -
Too bad, get him with the smoke pole!
-
Good luck 5.9, hope you find it.
-
Good for you zem, it means alot to your Dad and and he'll be talking about it for a long time!

Thanks Burt. Is your turnip plot getting hit yet? The deer by me are just starting to get at the turnips. As of last week no, I will be up Sat-Mon and will check out things. My neighbor hasn't seen much the last week and says the turnips are still untouched.
