i was hunting in middle state SC this morning and i had a nice buck chase a doe out beside me. it was thick so i picked a hole about the size of a pie plate and shot. the deer ran 15 yards. stoped and then started chasing the doe again. as the buck ran away i could tell i had completely broken the front leg on the opposide side of the deer. i found spotty blood and chunks of meat on the ground. i even found a good 1'' by 1'' piece of bone on the ground. the bullet made a complete passthrough b/c i found blood on each side of his trail. 200 yards later no blood. a bucks urge to breed is amazing.

seems to be that i hit the deer a lil to far forward and missed the vitals.

Do you all think this deer will die reletively close to where i shot him? or will the deer live. What is yalls thoughts??

this would have been my biggest buck to date.....
