I butchered a deer this year that was shot at fairly close range with a .300 Win Mag. It was a broadside shot, perfect bullet placement, 150 gr bullet, no exit wound. Let me tell you, what a mess. Blood and what-have-you was forced in between the layers of flesh and muscle on the off side, it was just amazing. What ordinarily would have been a "clean kill", really wasn't. It didn't help that the field dressing job was one of those stem-to-stern deals, I never did get that....
