I got an 8 point buck Sunday afternoon with the 15" Encore 375 JDJ. The slug cut through the heart and he piled up within 40 yds down a trail. It was a difficult task draggin him just that far over downed logs and up hill. Shot distance was about 80-100 yds. He was kinda heavy, dressing out at 150#, and was a load on the 4 wheeler rack, esp with myself and my sister on the machine for a quarter mile, trudging through the mud and water, and up hill for half the distance. I'll take some pics tomorrow. With the pouring down rain and darkness, I couldn't get any pics in the woods.

Well, I didn't forget the camera, had it in my pack. But, it was dark and raining very hard. I was more concerned about getting the deer to the house at the time. lol

What bullet are you shooting?
Thanks guys. Jim, I'm shooting factory T/C ammo, 220 Grain InterLock Flat Point's. But, I'm down to the last round and will need to get some dies and get more loaded up! I see that Midway has the same for $30/box, so I may just run by there Friday and grab another for the time being, then I'd have more brass as well. I got into another box stand last night after work at 4:15. It was still raining darn hard, but I was in the dry. I was watching a field that is 125 yds across and close to the same in length. At 4:45 I saw a doe walking across the middle from right to left. I don't know if she was bedded in a brush pile in the center of the field, which is 100 yds in front of the stand, or if she merely got that far across the field without me knowing it. Could be, as it was kinda foggy and getting darker. Anyways, she acted sorta spooked and ran back across the field to the right, and I stopped her with a grunt. Another deer for the freezer taken by the 375. No meat was hurt except for the back edge of her off shoulder, the shot was a bit back as she was slightly quartering away. I found her within 50-60 yds in the brush. I must have torqued the shot as I intended to shoot her where the neck meets the chest. I'm putting the 375 back in the cabinet and will mount up the 7-08 now. As far as the pics, I took some last night but left the camera in my other Jeep. Will have to post 'em later. This time I DID forget the camera. lol

Here is the buck I got Sunday and the doe from Tuesday, both with the 375JDJ Encore. I'm not proud of the photo's, but it's all I could do under the circumstances.
