RE: Texas Heart Shots
Bull's eye!!!
Looks like a Koala bear blowing you a kiss!
Actually, I did once hit a buck in the hams. I was using a CVA Kentucky rifle in .45, loaded with a 250 gn TC Maxi-ball.
Through the binoculars I could see one side of his rack growing down along his right jaw. The range was long for me, with that gun (close to 150 yds, I figured)and the wind was blowing hard.
I wouldn't have even tried the shot but for the fact that he looked like a cull.
I aimed into the wind, but it still hit too far back. We finally found him after a long search, recovered the slug too.
Came to find out that he'd broken one side of his rack right at the skull (ouch!) and wasn't genetically inferior at all.
I'd have thought that I missed him clean, but a buddy was video taping the shot. On reviewing the film, you could see his legs buckle when the shot hit, so we searched harder than me might have and found just a little blood.
