Thanks everyone.

Jeff, its a single shot CVA Hunter model. Those FTX rounds are hammers when it comes to deer.

I believe this was the best shot I have made on a deer to date. Other than the 400 yard "sniper" shot I made with a .257 Weatherby on a Colorado Mule deer a few years ago.

I was hunting the edge of a picked bean field. At about 5:00 pm, this buck came up on my left, on about my 10:00 and was walking toward me. I didn't see him until he was about 30 away because of the pine tree I was standing behind. I had made a little ground blind out of the downed pine limbs. When I seen him I raised the gun and cocked it at the same time. He seen the movement and bolted to his left, my right, and was quartering away from me and was getting with it. I was able to get the scope on his shoulder when he was about 50 yard away and pulled the trigger. He ran another 50 yards and nose dived into the ground.

During the field dressing, I found that my shot had taken out the top part of his heart and the bottom of his lungs. Blessed for sure!!!!
