Another kill with Elmer the .41...

Post by TNman » Wed Dec 19, 2018 10:59 am

Maybe this should be in the small game section ;) but when I kill a deer for myself I shoot a 6 month deer. Every year I give deer away to several friends on a list who always want venison; it enables me to continue hunting and they get venison. I kill a young deer for myself because of size, taste, and tenderness. Got this one yesterday morning at ~91 yards with my .41...complete pass through entering back of chest but clipped rumen on the way out. There wasn’t much of a mess though...deer travelled/fell for about 5 yards. Got her skinned, cut, packaged and in the freezer. After processing the tenderloins and heart sure tasted good cooked in an ancient Wagner iron skillet with onion slices and a piece of chopped bacon. This is the 2nd deer I’ve taken with the little .41 carbine.....it is a super little rifle...

Couldn't agree more on younger deer making better table fare. Good for you to share, too.

When we raised a steer for the table it was usually in the freezer at around nine months.

TN, what loading did you used ? Remember prior, we conversed about the bullet velocity and if it would have enough penetration at those velocities.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Slugnut...didn’t notice your question before...I used a max book load of Lil’gun under a 210 Speer Deep Curl...don’t remember the exact weight but I use a lil Dandy powder measure and one of the rotors throws the max load...I hunted with the Deep Curls instead of the XTPs because the DCs are just a bit more accurate in my rifle..but not enough to make any practical difference. Both shots were complete pass through...
