Muzzleloader Doe

[bluemtchuck]

I took this Doe the second day of rifle season with my TC Encore. I had set up my ground blind over looking a little clearing where I had seen deer quite frequently. So Iv'e been sitting there for about 4 evenings in it and finally this Doe comes out and starts browsing around. I watch her for about 15 minutes and she is all alone, so I decided to take her for the freezer. I thought she was about 120 lbs. looking at her,but she went 105 lbs. dressed out. The biologist at the checking station took a sample from her mouth and said she was a very nice 1-1/2 year old deer.




TC Encore 50 Cal.
250 gr. Shockwave
T7 loose powder 120 gr.

Nice deer. You make it seem so easy. How do like the Encore? Thinking of getting one in rifle caliber. Maybe prohunter.

J57, I love my Encore. It is the only gun that I use to hunt with. I haven't used a rifle for about 10 years now, I use a muzzleloader all the time. I like the challenge of the single shot and the smoke. I also have a 12 ga. Turkey barrel for the Encore.

Thank's for the reply. Hopefully next season I will come up with the money to get one. I bought the Omega this year, A-bolt, and a Savage. Plus optics equals some coin. Might use the old I need a new rifle for hunting coyotes, which I want to start doing:)......J
