    Anyone else used the Hornady Black 75grn hpbt ammo on deer?
    I shot two hinds tonight at 80 yards, both crease shots, both only took two steps and died. A lot of internal damage to lungs. Be keen to hear others thoughts or experiences with this ammo.

    The unbroken side went 28". Nearly a genuine trophy.

    I think I might have nicked that one with the first shot.

    It’s an Arken Zulus night/day scope that you can take vids through. About $1,200. I’m very impressed by it. When I get home I will post a vid of a head shot at night using the IR.

    Haven’t posted in a while. Typical steep Marlborough bluffs with a dead stag half way up, if I got closer the deer would be covered by tree’s because of the steepness.



    The spiker with some interesting head gear and he’s 3km from the nearest farm. 429m and 34 degree angle with a 80gr ELD-m smashed both shoulders and exited.



    A hind at 320m instant bang flop roll.
