Hunting & Fishing First deer with suppressor

[mis-guided child2]

While he won't win the big buck contest, I thought I'd share my first deer with the 30P-1.
Its mounted on a 16" model 7 in 308 that I put a PSS take off barrel on and had cut down.
Handy little rig. And while we all know them SMK's won't kill critters....nobody told him!

It's now legal in Oklahoma so I'm looking forward to using my can for the same thing in two weeks. I hope I have the same results, nice buck!

Re: First deer with suppressor

Where did you hit him? How far did he run? Lets see the damage, did you get pics of the internal damage? Barrel twist/bullet weight?

This is my first year suppressed hunting as well, and with a similar setup. Any extra details would be great.

Re: First deer with suppressor

Shot him in Upshur County. We have a lease on the Sabine river that produces some nice deer.
I shot him at the amazing distance of 75 whole yards! He was quartering to me, I sent the 168 SMK running about 2425fps into the inside of his near shoulder and it took out the last 2 ribs on exit. He piled up within 30 yards.That barrel is a 1:10 factory PSS take off. His chest cavity looked like a soup kitchen gone wrong and the exit wound was blood shot about the size and shape of a football but I didn't document with pics.
I didn't spend any time sifting the soup for bullet fragments, but by the exit hole I'd guess it held together pretty well for a none hunting bullet. I have taken numerous deer and hogs from 30 to 595 yds with the same load and while I have seen differences in wound channels that indicate differences in the SMKs terminal performance......They have all been post mortem inspections.

Re: First deer with suppressor

My mistake... I assumed you were using subsonic ammo, hence the slue of questions. Thanks for the info and congrats on the nice buck.
