If you keep shooting the little ones, you gotta start aiming for the head/neck to save the meat. That's the first bullet that been recovered from that gun, all the others were thru n thru, even on a 300# hog. Good shooting, go whack another one in the morning!


Well, that energy dissipated pretty quickly when it hit the sucker! I had a bad angle to this guy and shot placement obviously was less than ideal, but we still got about 15 pounds of meat out of him. I'd love to get a chance at a big deer, but I've only had shots at the little guys so far this year. No joy on anything today - didn't even see one. I'm planning to get the gun back to you this week. I'm gonna miss it! Sure do appreciate you sending it my way for awhile, though!
