I shot this deer a week earlier with a .243, we trailed blood and nothing. A week later my grandson spotted the same 10 point and I had my .270 with us and completed the mission. When I retrieved this buck, I had shot low on him the previous week and he had a three inch dirameter hole on his left breast with meat showing, but a clean shot through the neck finished him off. It's amazing how tough these deer are. It's great to hunt with my grandson and teach him the sport of shooting deer.
