Default Shot this guy today

Shot was 160 yds from a TC endover loaded with 2 white hots and 240 XTP. Tuff recovery little lucky. No blood but I was sure the way he acted that I hit him. I started tracking trackes in the snow ( snow being the lucky part). Found a bed & 1st speck of blood the 2nd bed & 3rd bed and deer was 20yds away dead. If it wasen't for snow and my confidance that I hit this deer he would not have been recovered. Shot was a little foward no exit has something to do with no blood.

Great deer, I shot a deer with a 260 speer that did the same thing, absolutely no blood till I found the deer 60 yards away in a thicket. Congratulations on one heck of a successful hunt.
