Airgun Hunt the AEA Zeus 72 caliber air rifle on a deer hunt!

I finally had the opportunity to use the AEA Zeus .72 caliber air rifle on a deer hunt, while down in Texas recently. I was back at my Friend Shawn’s Salt Fork Ranch near Ballinger. If you guys are looking for a place to hunt deer, hogs, or turkey, Shawn and his brother Ryan can put you on good hunting properties!
I was looking to fill the freezer, and wanted either a doe….. unless a bruiser buck walked in. I’d set up in a blind I’d used before, and for a while it looked like I might strike out. Then a nice little doe walked in, and I decided to take the shot.
I held a bit high on the shot, compensating for drop when I didn’t need to…. The slug hit just about exactly where I was holding, and not striking bone the deer ran off about 15-20 yards and tumbled down a drop. The size of the entry wound is impressive, and I can’t wait for the chance to use this gun/ammo combo on a hogzilla on my next trip down south.
The AEA Zeus with the 16” barrel is an impressive carbine. It’s a nicely designed and well executed sporter style hunting gun. It is solidly built and very compact, on the heavy side but well balanced. I think that weight is quite helpful in taming the recoil, though there is still some kick! I like the sidelever cocking, quick and smooth, and there is easy access to the loading port. The trigger is medium pull weight with a crisp and repeatable break.
All in all, I am more than a little impressed with this big bore airgun and look forward to more hunting with it.
