Large amounts of lung tissue and blood splotches bigger than my fist for the first 200-300 yards. I know the first shot was a good hit as I watched it hit. Not too sure what ammo she was using at the time. What ever it was it was the heaviest bullet she could get in a factory load. I always used my stepdad' s 30-06 and never had one go more than a few feet. The first shot was a beautiful broadside. He took off so we went back to the truck, had a cigarette and a cup of coffee and then went back out to track him. We jumped him and she put another one in him. Went back for another smoke and coffee. Went back out and jumped him again. She put 2 more him that time. Took another coffee break. Never saw him again. Each time I got to where she' d shot him, I' d find huge globs of blood with lung tissue in it. They found a rack about a mile from where I lost the trail that was a dead ringer for the one that we lost about a year later. The second one that she shot that year never acted like anything had happened and it was getting dark so we didn' t fool around with a second shot at him. Couldn' t tell where she' d hit him when we found his carcass the next morning as a big cat and some coyotes had worked him over pretty good during the night.

She' s an excelant shot and I' ve never seen her miss her mark. I can' t swear to whether she put the last shots in the vitals or not but the first one at least was. I don' t like to follow blood trails and I hate losing game. That' s why I recommended going with something that you can get a heavier factory load for. Aint much fun an adult to follow a blood trail for over a mile and lose it, why put a kid throught that if you don' t have to.
