Sat. morning, I got lucky and took a nice 8pt with my browning gold sluggun. While gutting and butchering, I took the time to really take a look at the internal damage. The lungs were in completly in tact despite the heart shot. There was alot of trama to the ribs and opposeing shoulder from the shock. But that was it. So today I took a doe with a 270Win and took another good look. The lungs were melted and like jelly. The heart was tore apart and the other orgins took quite a bit of trama from shock. Velocity kills, even though the exit wound from the coppersolids from the slug gun was much larger than the 270win.

Yesterday, I really pushed the limits of the shotgun. In the swamps on MD eastern shore I shot 130 yards at a sika deer. I ended up tearing apart the front leg. So I looked for blood but was difficult in the swamp water. Lunch, I saw this same sika limping past me so I took him down. I should have ranged such a long shot first. I thought it was only 80 or 90 yards. A slug really dives past 100 yards.
