RE: What bullet did you use last year and......
Deer# 1 was a doe shot in the neck at 25 yards. Dropped on the spot
Deer # 2 was a spike buck shot in the neck @25 yards and droped on the spot.
Deer # 3 was a buck with 5 points on the left and right side broken off just above the brow tine. I shot him in the right shoulder. The bullet exited behind the left shoulder. Heart and lungs destroyed. He ran 60 yards, left no blood trail and didn't even kick the leaves around where he fell. He was standing in the same spot as the spike when I shot him.
I used my 58 caliber flinterwith 570 round ball, pillow ticking patch and 90gr of Goex3f. All bullets exited the deer.
