Sad Sad story
ran into a couple guys from Maryland up in Moosehead Maine this past weekend. They were crying the blues about a monster buck they could not find after tracking it for 7 miles through the forest. I asked them if they shot it with a spitball gun and they replied with a straight face.."I knocked him down 2 times with a 300 win mag"... I almost laughed in his face. It's really not funny but you just have to love the inexperience that just oozes from some people.

RE: Sad Sad story
I have gotten allot of deer since I started hunting and here in NY where I hunt until this year we were only allowed to use slug guns or Archery - I hunt both and have never had to track a deer over 100 yrds. Some have been tough to find when they get in the thick stuff but it's all in the shot placement.
I arrorwed one buck that spun around jumped in the air and when he hit the ground he fell over and never got up. That's the quickest I have ever seen a deer go down gun or bow. Double Lunged him with 100 grain crimson talon broadhead.
With a .300 win mag the deer shouldn't have even took a step if the shot placement was good. - Better get out to the range and stop relying on the bench rest for shooting accuracy.

RE: Sad Sad story
My first archery buck fell over and died right there. Didn't take two steps.
With a 300 win mag any deer should die within sight, if not sooner. Probably shot it in the hindquarters. I've seen guys do that more than I have liked. Saw a big buck when I was a kid, couldn't get a shot,and the guy over the hill shot it in the rear...he never found it. Me was mad!
