FOC strikes again

Post by SEW »

Yesterday evening, I shot a relatively large middle aged 6-pt. I wanted this deer out of my woods/gene pool. The shot was across a pond with the 6-PT at the pond edge. 52 yards, Zombie, FOC, M405, Optimizer, Duralyt 2-8. Wap! Deer fell to ground and rolled down the steep bank right into the pond! Didn't submerge. Had to go out into pond to drag it out .
No pictures as this was a cull/venison deer. Once again, FOC and DRT. Over half of my 14-15 FOC kills have gone less than 10 yards: at least half DRT.
Superb accuracy, quiet in flight, devasting terminal performance. Hard to beat the FOC!

This is a picture from my stand. Took last week. Dry! Dry! Dry! Deer was shot at the bare edge of the area above the bank. I was so tired, wet, muddy by the time I finished recovering and gutting the deer I just wasn't in the mood to take a picture of me with a 6-pt. However, this is a beautiful stand site. Well fertilized, Roundup Ready Alphalfa was planted 2 months ago. Maybe 1/2" rain since then.
