RE: What bullet did you use last year and......
Took 1 doe with a 275gr Parker BE at about 70yds. Bad shot. Hit her low in the chest in front of the heart and mangled the off side leg.Had my doubts when I saw her standing and could see that off side leg swinging back and forth. Tried to reload but she hobbled off with another spooked doe.
I circled out and left her for the night. At first light I followed a good blood trail for about 80 yds and found her. No vitals hit. Heart & lungs were in good shape but I must of hit something and got lucky. Or the leg damage from that bullet was so severe...
Not the bullets fault. Maybe the bullets performance was the reason I found her!
