I slipped out Sunday morning for my last deer hunt of the year. Dawn found me 25' up in a tree between an indian grass CRP field and a thoroughly pounded oat food plot. Temp was 5* but no wind, calm and very very quiet.
About 8 am two does were working their way towards the CRP about 50 yards out. The area is very thick, lots of limbs and branches in the way, and they were taking their time. I picked an opening it looked like the lead doe would soon step into, but when she did she immediately turned my way then went back the way she came, nibbling at the ground. I picked another opening and as soon as she entered it put the crosshairs mid body behind her front leg and fired. double lung and top of heart, she ran about 30 yards towards the plot and dropped.
Load was a 250gr .50 thor over 42gr of N110 with a fed 209A. Goes boom everytime. Fourth deer I've killed with the thors, typical performance, .50 hole in and about 2" out pass through, lungs mush.
