Good to know. My best hunt was when a big sow and 4 little ones came out running straight for me. I dropped the mom at 100-120yds, Babies just kept coming back. I was stacking pigs like legos with the smoke pole. Shooting once every 30 seconds, I made 4 shots. So much smoke in front of me, I could barely see. I was only able to get 3. The last shot was shooting at them in the brush and they never came back.
at my least, that's how they know if i'm shooting at deer vs pigs...1 shot = deer, 2+ = pigs
i dont quit until i'm empty.

I have gotten multiple shots at deer twice. Both 8 points at 100 yds. One I must have shot over it because the deer (broadside)jumped took a couple hops and stopped again. I shot at him again (broadside) and saw him buck, run off, then heard it crash in the woods. Never found him even with a 5 man search party. 2 weeks later someone found it walking through the woods and brought the horns back.
Couple years ago a 8 point was 100 yds away facing me head on. Put the crosshairs on his neck and missed him. Bolted another one and aimed at the same place and watched him fold. I rushed both shots when I didnt need to.

I have a CVA Elite Stalker .35 Whelen and there ain't nothing primitive about it. I'll choose it over my 30-06 if I'm hunting in a tripod because of the length. I put a VX-II on it and I'm comfortable with it at 200 yds.

I have heard some bad things about the CVAs quality, anyone experienced any issues?
We send a lot of Elite Stalkers back. The Apex kicks arse though
