Decided to put a couple hours in this afternoon in the woods. Got packed up and made it to Assunpink at 1345. Geared up and headed out, and got myself set up by 1430.

 

 

Only 45min later, once I had bundled up a bit, I pulled out my Droid and started browsing the forum. Halfway through the new posts I glanced up to see two does walking by. Dumped the phone, brought the gun up, cocked the hammer, and BOOM. Ringing ears for 10min and a dead deer. The Lightfield 3" 546gr slugs did their job and folded the deer up where she stood.

 

 

Just thought this was kinda funny... The pants I was wearing were bought to go hunting with coldsolderjoint(even though that trip never happened). My boots were purchased while hanging with hd2000fxdl. The gun was purchased from Tony at TJ Sporting arms. And finally, the ammo used was purchased from Paul at Arms n Ammo. NJGF FTW!

And now celebrating a successful hunt with venison helper(lasagna) and Troegs Dream Weaver.

 

Nice, that made for a quick day of hunting.

You could of let that one grow for another season. It must of just lost it's spots

You harvested someones pet, it has a collar and leash on it!!!

Nice one.. Is that a H&R Ultra Slug? 20 or 12? I want to get one to start hunting as well. I am deciding between this and the Savage 220.

Congrats! I wanted to get out this afternoon for the opener, but it got too late so I never made it out. I have 3 days off from work scheduled next week so looking forward to that. Sighted in my 20G Ultra Slug Hunter last night at SCFGPA, so I'm ready to roll!

 

Did the 3" lightfields kick like a friggin mule? I'm using them in my 20G, and they group real nice.

I'm pretty sure j0n's is a 12 gauge. I have the 20 with the thumbhole stock and love it... For the price you can't beat the USH's. I put a 2" group of 3 shots together at 100 yards last night at the range, which is pretty darn good for a slug gun.

Yes, 12ga. They don't really kick TOO bad at the range, but in the field you don't feel em one bit. Adrenaline takes over.

Had to go back and look at the picture again.

Amazon for the win.

Looks like a big squirrel. Did you miss the big one and hit that one by accident?

Did you butcher it on your own and eat the meat on the same day? Or was that venison from a previous hunt? Oh and Dream Weaver = GOOD STUFF!

Jon *sniffle sniffle* you killed bambi!

He posted on FB that it was meat from last season

Are the trajectory of 20 and 12 GA slugs around the same? I was looking at the specs of the Hornady slugs and it looks about the same. You would think the 20 would shoot flatter but I guess in a slug the case volume is also a lot smaller for the 20ga since it's not like a necked down rifle case.

Stalker. But correct.

12ga 3" slugs actually seem to have better ballistics than 20ga according to manufacturer's info. Not by much, but still a touch better. With that being said, 20ga is sufficient for any NJ hunting(unless 20ga slugs are no-go for bear?), and that model is a bit lighter to lug around in the field.

Are you sitting on the ground in that first pic?

 

I am checink from my iphone on the train so i can't really see.

Nah, sitting in my camp chair.

12 and 20 ga are legal slugs for bear, and are the only LEGAL method of taking a bear in NJ. They have not yet approved bow...

Mmmm bosintang.

Congrats
