Thanks gentlemen! She's actually boned out and I'm going to season some jerky tonight to make here in a day or two.


@Cayugad , she was quartering away and the bullet went in right behind her last rib, all the way through her vitals and lodged in her spine just at the base of her neck. She ran maybe 50 yards. I shot, lost her in the greenery but heard her crash just a few seconds later.


OK, the bullets...I started ML'ing a long time ago and the wolverine ALWAYS was super accurate. Bullet performance ( jacketed bullets) SUCKED! I shot 2 deer and didn't find them and swore if I shot another and didn't find it that I was done with ML hunting. ...enter Precision Rifle all lead bullets. These things are very accurate, always expand really well and hold together. They release energy in the animal and there is very little tracking. I know u all have your favorites but if you are ever challenged with deer running very long distances, at least consider them!
