Bagged my first deer!

[Henry Bowman]

Last Tuesday morning. It was a young doe. Unfortunately, I used my 1997 Subaru Impreza and the one shot will cost me almost $2,000.

Dang... in the words of Ron White, deer is so elusive you should use a van going 55mph with the headlights on and the horn blowing instead of a 30-06 going 3000fps while wearing camo.

Guess you suscribe to the "heavy & slow" theory of projectile effectiveness. Sorry bout the car - doh!

That's ok, my wife has tagged two that way.

I've gotten one...with a rifle...She still rags me for getting fewer than she.

Goofus came runnin' in and said he killed a buck
He was comin' from the wayside and hit him with his truck
Charlie cracked a six-pack and said, "It's time to celebrate.
"Goofus killed the first buck since 1968!"

LOL - sounds like a bunch I used to have a recording of. I think they were called Shad Rap and they were out of Wisconsin.


Bummer about the car....been there, done that.

i really like the subaru projectiles, not much penetration though... the hood folds up nicely and with 3 shots on my 96 legacy i've yet to puncture the condensor..

headlight housings are expensive though....

Forget the car, were you able to salvage any venison ???

No, but someone else did. She was nicely tenderized.

Nice controlled expansion. One shot, one kill.

headlight housings are expensive though....

About $179 for the part alone. Hood $300. Fender, bumper, grill...

Good to you are O.K. A colleague of mine whose wife spent 30 days in the horsepistol because of suicide deer.

Driving down road here in Laughalot and deer bounded out of woods near a giant factory (why would a deer hang by a factory?) and ended up through her windshield!

Time to raise the bag limits so the fellas can clean them out!

Absolutely. During the rut, it looks like World War Deer along the highways around here. The rest of the year, it looks like a minor "police action".
