After three unsuccessful days hunting for an elk (cow tag, and only saw bulls) with the 77 TMK’s, I decided to switch gears for the last evening and fill my turkey tag for thanksgiving Thanks to @Formidilosus advice on the TMK’s being to much for turkey I brought with some MK 262 mod 1-C in another mag. Both the black hills 77 TMK and black hills MK 262 mod 1-C hit at virtually the same poi at 100 yards and had virtual the same muzzle velocity. Worked like a champ!!
160 yards, shot from the creek bottom up at a bit of an angle. Entered right through the lower back and exited through the other side, lost about three bites of meat from the opposite side upper thigh area and a bit of wing meat.
After a nice brine it turned out great for thanksgiving dinner!!
First time the wife came with for a big game hunt, all in all we had an awesome time with tons of great memories!! She is already talking about plans for next years hunting
