After a long day of hunting in the hills,I spotted this deer from a little over 1/2 a milehiding in a small nook in a stack of round haybales. It looked as if he had been using it as a hide-out since our 16 day general rifle season just concluded. Made a long stalk and closed the distance to 15 YARDS! I took the only shot he gave me facing straight at me, so I can't report much on bullet performance, it passed straight through and the deer dropped right where he stood.

Nice buck - congratulations. Don't need a blood trail on that one. I love sneeking and stalking and think it is one of the more exciting ways to hunt.
Just curious - where exactly did the bullet enter and exit the animal?
