The 629 was busy this weekend

Illinois just had its last gun season. It used to be a handgun only season but now you can use shotguns and muzzleloaders.

I keep on the tradition by only using a hand gun. It’s “doe only “ for most of the state, but they allow buck harvests in a few CWD counties.

Well, I hunt in one of those counties. I had a 55 yd shot at a doe on Sat night. I put a 240 gr A-Frame right thru the heart. Sunday I had some bucks moving thru the woods at 65 yards, another will placed A-Frame did the job. It was action packed weekend, I took 3 deer with the Smith this year.

That is some good shooting. Very nice buck as well.

You ended the season with a bang for sure!

Nice work! That A-Frame is a bad boy in the handguns!

That is Great! You had a Wonderful weekend of Handgun hunting. Congrats! The A-Frames are as good as they get.

Outstanding work. Very nice deer.

What scope are you using and what was your shooting position/platform?

Did any of them run and if so, how far?

Nice going ,thats the way to wrap up the season.Looks like that Smith did well for you.

Well done!

Nice!!

Very nice! My weekend wasn't near as eventful; I was working.

Congrats! You broke that doe's heart....literally! Nice shoot'n

Zee, It's a Leupold VX 2.5x8, I hunted 2 stands, both are 2 man ladder stands with solid shooting rails. The doe jumped higher than she ran, the buck was double lunged, maybe 20 yds.

Fantastic!!

Good shooting!

Awesome weekend. Very nice buck. Congratulations. I have an almost identical 629 that is my favorite woods rig. Its the best balanced offhand gun / scope setup I have.

Thanks much!!!!

Congrats Curly on a great weekend! Powder burned and a full freezer...

Nice work. I need to try A-Frames

Great hunting and great shots. I guess you 629 is a 44 mag?
