Kinda hard to mistake a growing crimson spot right behind the shoulder. I shoot 200 yard benchrest in the offseason. Questioning shot placement is not an option. Accuracy is my first priority. I do not hunt with a load without first achieving at least .5moa accuracy. And besides I smoked a yote at around 225yds a couple of hours before the buck came out. POA was between the eyes. Bullet impacted and removed nose and snout and lower jaw. Not trying to be a smart a** but thats how it is. I hunt from the ground and shoot off a bipod. And when the crosshairs are behind the shoulder, so shall the bullet be too. The visible crimson and the fact that after every third or fourth step he lost his front end are why I did not believe a second shot was necessary. With the x bullet I dont have that problem. One shot. One kill. No tracking.
