I apologize for the photo in the back of the truck.
Shot was a 33 yd shot on this buck that was slightly quartering away. Complete pass-thru......40-50 yd recovery.
When assessing the shot....imagine where the front leg would be when the buck was standing. I'll give the results of the autopsy, later.
So.....would you be proud of this shot? Would you consider this "optimal"? If not.....what IS "optimal"?
Also.....note that this is the entrance hole.
