Duh I just put the 2 together. I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. Nice buck. Mark

Here's my west side late "any elk" unit bull taken on Decmeber 12th.  I used my .62 Thompson Center Hawken, home cast round ball and 90 gr of Goex 2f.  The shot was about 50 yards through both lungs and he went about 14 yards.  Those Roosevelts are pretty heavy at any size, especially when you have to pack it out yourself...painfull, but in a good way if you know what I mean!

Nice job on a great spike bull Dave.  You rarely hear of anyone shooting a .62.  That's cool.  What do you use for casting lead and what brand, style, weight bullet mold are you using?

Gadwall.

The barrel started out life as a Green Mountain .62 smoothbore.  I sent it to Ed Rayl in Virginia and he rifled it 1:72 for round balls.  I use an old Lee production pot and Lee .600 mold that throws a 325 gr ball.

Welcome to the site EyeGuard....Nice Bull, I think I remember seeing Hirsheygirl post it on here. Your girlfriend shot a cow too didn't she? Along with some big ole bucks. Congrats to you both.

The last two deer seasons I have shot a buck and been quite pleased with them.  The next day hirsheygirl has shot a buck and both times they were larger than mine.    But I got her in the end when I told her it was a cow only hunt   Thanks for the welcome.
