I believe the sear broke, but won't know for sure until I hear back from the factory. I can't mess with it or they won't honor the warranty.

You were right, Vince! Got a healthy doe just before sunset. It was a family group of 5 in the trees. Found a shot through the branches (thought of you Pumpkinslinger). It was quartering away. Shot entered right side 2 ribs up and exited just in front of the left shoulder. Didn't take a step. Will hunt again in the morning.

Forgot to bring the camera. I needed it too as I was going to take pics of the slug guns groups in the morning.

Saw another group of does this morning while still hunting. They were on the move. I got a shot off on one of them but must have been a miss. It is nice to end the season with this much action. Off to try a new processor with the doe I got last night. He makes great Jalapeño and Jack Cheese sausage!

Took a nice antlerless buck at 219 yards with my Knight "Wolverine". My load was 100 grains of 777 3f and a Parker 275 gr Ballistic Extreme. Knocked him down where he stood, but he got up and went 10 yd before he stopped. His hanging weight is 124lbs. I took a picture in the timber where he stopped, but I lost the photo. I can get a pic of him hanging, but a skinned carcass is not real attractive to some folks!!!
