Sorry I don't have the pics but maybe in a few days I'll have some. I traveled from PA to Kansas this Sept in search of one of their big whitetails. I left here on the 8th of Sept so I could take advantage of the high gas prices caused by Katrina.
Well the buck never showed up but a really nice doe sneaked up behind me one morning and I finally got a deer with my knight Bighorn. I use 80 gr of FF Gooex behind a Hornady 240gr 44 cal bullet in a green harvester sabot. I shoot left hand but this old girl sneaked up behind me off my left shoulder so I had to shoot right hand with open sights.
My weaponry did it's job so the freezer is a bit fuller and enjoyed some great tenderloins that night.
The bugs, mosquitoes, gnats, chiggers and ticks were terrible as was the temps (mid 90s nearly every day). It rained several days and I just was not comfortable sitting in a tree stand with a powder filled lightning rod in my hands.
