This is an 8 pointer I took in early Novemberof this year. He was rattled in and taken at a distance of 80 yds with a shot through his neck with my .243. Check out the branch that was stuck in his horns. This is exactly how he was when he came in.
And heres a 10 pointer I took in late november, also rattled in and shot through the neck at 80 yds. The scenarios were identical and both were shot while facing and looking right at me.
