opinions on shot
hey guys today we were doing a push to try to get a friend a deer well when we were walking the woods i kicked up a nice buck he ran about 70 yards and stopped broadside i put the crosshairs on his shoulderand squeezed the trigger and the buck ranoff 5 minutes later i heard are freind shoot. we went to where he was and he said he shot at a buck that was carrying its rearleg butwas running full blast through a field well we all went back to where i originaly shot and we found where he was standing and to my amazment my bullet was laying on the ground with a lil blood we follwedthe trail and found 2 lil bone fragments and 1big piece about2 inches long well the trail tapered off about 100 yards we grid searched the entire area for a mile and half at least and found nothing. theonly thing i can think is i hit a limb and it deflected the bullet into the hindleg.what do you think its chances of survival is if it doesnt get infected. also any ideas on whymy bullet would be on the ground where he stood . thanx and by the wayit was muzzlloader season so chances fora second shotwerent good thnax again
