Well a 300 grain XTP might not get pass through but if it wipes out the lungs that is all you need it to do. Even if it had run, it would not have went far.

Those button bucks are not only great eating but do no damage really to the herd population as there are always bucks around to handle the duty... And when it comes to eating, they are great. Congratulations on the deer. I am sure your 7 year old will remember that afternoon for a long time, as will you.
