Yea I will try it again tomorrow. He didnt react at all like he was hit. I watched him through the scope and he just disappeared. Was shooting hollow points so figured they would do enough internal damage to drop him even though it was a small caliber but I never saw even a drop of blood. Also usually they will vomit up what they were eating when I get a hit and there wasnt any of that either and he was feeding. I hate to admit missing something so close but Im sure I shot right over him as Im zeroed in at 100 yards. Switched back to my .270 so at least I should be able to get an exit wound. Looked at a new Browning 7mag with a Trijicon milidot scope combo today. With that combo I will never have to track a deer again. Im just really bad at gauging how far up or down I should be aiming and should have had a milidot in the first place but good ones are $800+ and I couldnt afford one at the time.
