Nick Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Well I got a gift for my birthday the 1st of November that was absolutely uncalled for by my parents! I had been eyeing a H&R NEF single shot slug gun for some time and planned one buying one sometime so I could hunt the shotgun zone with a shotgun instead of my muzzle loader. Obviously I dont have to worry about buying one with my money now cuz that was my parents gift for me. Anyways, I topped it with a 2-7 Nikon Pro Staff scope and got her all sighted in with 3" Remington Copper Solids. EXTREMELY accurate groups.....almost unheard of with a shotgun. I tagged out on bucks Tuesday, opening morning of firearms season, but still had a few doe tags left. After work this morning I decided to head out to my spot just north of town to try to bag my first one with a shotgun/slug. Over night we got our first snow of the year and it was bitter cold with extrmemly high winds. I was bundled like the abomitable snowman and headed to the woods. Being so cold I didnt want to crawl in a tree so I found a nice brush pile to snuggle into and wait for the deer to come. The woods were very visible and you could see over a hundred yards all directions. It wasnt daylight for 15 minutes and a deer busted out to my left but kept runniong never offering a shot. So I sat there and before long I eyed 2 mature does heading right for me about 75 yards out. I shouldered the slugger and let them feed right into me. They got to about 40 yards and the bigger doe offered a perfect broadside stading shot so I let her have it. She kicked and ran straight at me!! She ran a total of about 50 yards before piling up. The gut job verified a perfect double lung hit. I was totally amazed at the size of hole that slug leaves in a deer....the exit hole was so big the deers inards were falling out of the slug hole. Incredible! Heres where she went down and how I found her...I just added the gun. And here she is with the fork horn I took on opening day and myself.

Stinger-Hunter Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Re: Dats how Dem Shotguns Do Dat!!! (pics) That doe looks humungous next to that buck. Congrats on the shotgun gift, too. I never knew that those were so accurate. They sell them at Wally World,but I never gave them a second look. - well ok I gave them a second look, but no consideration.
