took with 220SMK over 1680 running at about 1050fps, shot at about 90 yds , ran about the same and piled up

before the comments come my BIL freinds was having big fun planting obamanation signs in each others yards, I dont think anybody is laughing to much now

[Spook]

[JFettig]

Nice deer... but theres something behind you that is really disturbing.

yeah thats why I put the explanation in there, those signs are very rare indeed down there, so my B-I-L freinds had found one and had been going around putting it in each others yards and waiting for the phone calls to begin, man it was stirring them up something good and was all funny then , but now after what happened on tuesday nobody is laughing anymore:mad:

Tell us more about where you hit him... was he facing you, quartering toward/away?? Did the bullet go clean through?

320pf

[hugginsvilleH&A]

I was in a tree about 25-30' up and hit him basically on the upper area/slightly forward of the left shoulder going down and across and angling back, not quite a broadside but not a quartering in shot either. the bullet looked like it did a good tumble inside and exited the lower opposite side , the lungs were were tore up pretty good , he expired rather quickly , waited about 30 minutes before I came down and found a very good blood trail ,followed about 90 yrds and there he laid. I mostly bow hunt and this was a good quick clean kill, comparable to bow hunting and I did not blow his shoulders off doing it ,I have a remington .280 for those shots, but I was hunting a very very thick swamp bottom that a stand of oak trees bearing real good right now . Most of the shots offered in that situation is usually 10-40 yrds tops but this place I set up on had one looksie down a small fire break that offered about a 90 yrd shot and that is where he stepped out, for the most part a perfect bow hunting or a 30-30 type gun situation - which is why I went with the whisper. I know the controversy of people thinking it is not powerful enough to kill but I felt very confident in my ability to place a shot at that range, many a people have been killed with FMJ rounds especially when they tumble, which I beleive is what makes the whisper a devastating SHORT range option, it hits like the hammer of thor, I had been really working it out the previous two days before I went hunting with it and was shocked at how hard that thing hits compared to the low report it has. I was really looking for does during this hunt ( they seem to me to be better eating) but when this guy stepped out I was like O'manO'man, I knew he was good one but did not really realize just how big he was till I came down and found him, dressed out he was alittle over 200lbs which is a big deer in georgia the best deer I have ever taken.:smile:

[Gpz1100]

that's a great deer and story for ANY part of the country---CONGRATS!!

[hugginsvilleH&A]

yeah I was expecting it I told my wife when she took the picture, oh boy am I going to catch hell for whats in the background, even if it was a running joke down there, like I said before aint NOBODY laughing after the vote tuesday, we all about to pay dearly in this nation for that

[One Shot]

Congrats.
Nice deer !
I posted a question earlyer, and you answered it. Our local LEO shoots deer at night, with a .300 Whisper with a can in town at night. He told me if you shoot them in the body with this, it's like shooting them with a arrow. They bleed alot. If you shoot them in the forehead, with their head down, you'll drop them on the spot. If their head is up, it will richocet off.

I'm glad to see you take one with a good body shot. I'll be trying to do the same thing in two weeks.

My Sheriff neighbor has to put down wounded deer with his pistol and has complained of ricochets when their heads are up as well. I am glad to hear this from another source. The buffalo skull was easy to penetrate with the Whisper, but their foreheads are flat. On a more serious note, we need to paste Obama's face on the deer. We still have freedom of speech for a couple more months. The following is from a wise GA Rep on the topic.

Congrats on the deer. Look forward to more of your hunting results.

[GaryM]

Another 300 whisper deer.
Ok, didn't use subsonics but still...

[GaryM]

Ok, I posted the wrong picture and don't know how to edit it for the correct one.
So here is the correct picture.
BTW, one of the ones in the back of the truck is mine. One is my son in laws (taken with a .223, same rifle I killed mine with last year). Third belongs to a good friend who just had to use a 30-06.

Got a little piggy 2 saturdays ago.
Misjudged the distance on 1st shot.
Turn up the volume & listen to how quiet the gun is.

Nice deer, I'm hopping to have a chance at a deer with my whisper. Hope it turns out as good as yours did.

Whats with all the heavy breathing? Sounds like a bad late 70's porno...:grin:

[Pitt300]

I had walked to the feeder, seen the pigs, walked back to & climbed up into the blind, & was nervous about & hoping that I wasn't going to buy a cow!

By the way-what do you know about bad late 70's porn?
