I let a doe go earlier this yr less than 10 yards from me. I just did like the shot that was offered. I could see her head and neck area, and lower part of her legs just fine, but her boiler room was covered with some leaves. I have no doubt that the 250gr Shockwave could have hit the leaves and twigs on this piece of brush and kept on smiling to kill her.

This was on a doe, if it had been a great big buck at the same spot I would have done the same. I want to be 100% sure of my shots. I can drill paper all day with tight groups but in the field with your heart beating away adrenaline pumping through your veins like jet fuel you won't alway shoot your best.

You did what your gut told you to, I am sure he will back.

Good Luck
