Thats a good plan and it looks like a good read. I have not taken a truck load of deer as many of you have but I have not hurried any of them. I calmly waited and then waited some more.
Two years ago I shot a 7 point at 75 yrds with a 44mag. with open sights. I shot off hand but I practice at that distance often. The deer only flinched and retreated to the thicket he came from. I could see him but was unsure if he was hit. I could see a small opening through the thicket and I squeezed off one more round. The deer didn't budge. The deer was still looking for me but was unsure where I was. I didn't move, using a tree for cover. I watched the deer for 30 minutes but didn't fire anymore hoping he would try to sneak out past me since he hadn't seen me.
The deer sat down and I thought great but how am I going to sneak up on him. 15 min. later he started coughing and I knew I hit him.15 min. later he was kicking and then it was done. I waited another 30 min. to make sure. []
The deer was actually hit sqarely through the chest with both rounds cris-crossing since he faced different directions each shot. I was very happy with my placement but not for the performance of the bullets. (Thats why I prefer arrow kills) The point is that I didn't move and show myself or the deer would of ran and ran and ran. That deer stood unaffected for over 30 min. A deer can cover a lot of ground in that time. Be patient and good luck to all.
