An 84 yard broadside hit on a 100 lb. doe isn't much of a challenge for any bullet, but here are the results with a 300gr Gold Dot @ around 1650 fps mv.


ENTRANCE EXIT

Apparently the GD did the job. 100lb doe or not.

Looks like perfect bullet performance - who can ask for more?

That is about all you can ask out of a bullet...

love them Gold Dots
2008 was my first season to use them very happy with them

What do those deer eat down there? She looks kind of lean.No body fat?

There are a couple of reasons for that Chasam. She was taken from an area with miles of Pine tree plantation - no soybeans, corn or other agriculture around. Plus, while our deer typically develop some body fat along the top of the back and inside the body cavity along the backbone,they don't need a lot of fat to carry them through the winter like Northern deer do. They can move and feed throughout the winter. There's still a good bitof green in the woods around here- mostly yapon, greenbrier, common brier, honeysuckle, hardwood seedlings, etc.

Here's a picture of one of my small wheat/oat/clover food plots taken on 1/25/09.It's a littly blurry, but you can see the green.

Nice plot. I guess your ready for spring turkey!

Semi-Our deer are having a tough time right now.We had an ice storm a few weeks ago followed by snow. Temps mid 20's to below zero for last couple weeks.Deer in my yard every night eating the shrubs.Good thing is we had a bumper mast crop last year and the deer were very fat in November.
