cdmckane Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I took the first week off and got skunked. I was home alone with the baby tonight. Had just thrown a back strap from last year's last doe in the oven when I saw four or five deer in the field. Snuck outside while daughter was playing in her room. Took up a nice position about 120 yds away and let the Savage 220 bark. She jumped about 4 feet in the air on impact, wobbled about 50 feet and piled up. No tag soup this year.

cdmckane Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's not babysitting. It's parenting. I had to wait for my mom to get here to go get the deer because my wife works til 9 on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Terry Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Congrats! Probably not how you pictured it happening, but venison in the freezer is top priority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bow Addict Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I have a 220f with 3x9 x40 Nikon.I bought 2of them last year.One for me and one for my girlfriend.We have them sighted dead on at 100.Now this year we can hunt with rifles here so now my grandson uses it. They are great guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGroundhog Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) I'm running a 3x9x40 Nikon pro staff... It clover leafs at 100... We can use rifles too now but I'm still using the 220 shooting the Remington accutips 2 3/4 Edited November 26, 2013 by MrGroundhog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdmckane Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 LOVE my 220. I haven't taken the .30-06 hunting since I got it. I've got a 3-9 x 40 Weaver scope. I'm zeroed at 150yds, 3" low at 200 running Hornady SST slugs. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
