Thread: Sub clements

Haha, i knew that would get you reading.
I experienced two subs yesterday. Temperature was character building at best.
When i left home it was cold but it is winter but when i turned into clements rd and the D-Max kept going straight i wondered what the deer would be doing in a frost like that.
Committed, i got to a spot and put on all my winter fluffys. After an hour of not much sign and less excitement i was trying to stay positive, i decided to loop back through the colder ,dark , damp bush to see if they were hiding there but i spied a neck down my spur.
After almost 20 minutes trying to pick a shot i decided to move a little and risk being seen. Yip (SEEN) by another hind bedded nearby . While i was trying to steady a shot against a tree under its chin it stood up and made it easy.
Crosshair tight behind the shoulder and wok, hunt over.
The Robert cast 330gr Hollow point powder coated slug at subsonic worked well. Much nicer to shoot than a heavy 45/70 hard cast at crazy speed also.
The slug blew lots of pistons and rings out the back but there was no lead in the wound so i think it expanded into a big ball and did its job.
