Thought everyone would find this interesting.
Earlier this year I built a Mod 70 6.5x47 Lapua, Bartlin 7.5 twist, HS Precision Stock.
Drew blood twice earlier this week. Shot a nice doe on Wed afternoon at 80 yards.
Thursday afternoon I shot this Forkie THING.
On our lease we have a 10 point rule unless it's a rag horn.
This Forkie came in at about 4:20. When I first glassed it, the Forks looked odd. I swung the rifle over and cranked it to 20X. Had funky bumps at the bases and still in velvet?
Decided to take IT out of the gene pool.
At 160 yards, the 120 grain Barnes TTSX did the job, dead on the spot, never took a step .
Got out of the stand and walked over to get a closer look. When I turned IT over, no sex organs. Only a small knub with a pee hole? Actually a pretty good size deer.
I've heard of these oddities, never seen one. When I told the guy at the processor what I had, the whole crew of about 10 people came out to see it. They said they had never seen one either.
The TTSX blew the heart in half.
I called local Oklahoma Game Warden to report it. He told me they usually hear about 1 or 2 a year. So far he has heard of 5 or six this year. I said "Well Biden is screwing this up too!" Got him laughing.
We moved here from CA 3 years ago. Some of the guys on our lease are accusing me of bringing Transvestite deer with me, lol.
Chock up another one for my favorite rifles!
