Thanks for being willing to go through the effort Matt. You didn't lose a buck in Central IL by chance?

No, Uncle Matt does not lose deer he shoots! Bite your tongue young lady.

What a horribledeath for animal to suffer. All because a "hunter" could not resist a bad shot.

Its definately a Brenekke slug, thats the kind I use.

Not a monster? Oh that's right your in IL..lol

Christine, I wouldn't give him the rack. That was a poor shot to take, had he waited for the buck to turn, he'd have the rack. Keep it and put it to some use.

Christine; I'd have to go w/ Brenneke also, except that that rifleing fins on yours are in pairs, and the photo of the actual Brenneke slug are singles. Perhaps an older style Brenneke ??

I have seen Brenekke no drop a deer at 20yrdss in ther ribs so don't bet on a far shot in the neck. i shot those one year and after i saw the deer had 5 shots in him and was still moving until a muzzleloader knocked him down all my brenekke went in the trash. and the first 2 shots were kill shots just barley broke ribs. so it's no wonder imo that deer kept on trucking and died a slow death with those slugs.

Looks like a Brenneke to me (Designed in 1897 by Wilhelm Brenneke in Germany). Imported and sold by Stoeger for many years, and for many years, the ULTIMATE in shotgun slug power & accuracty.

With any high power rifle that would have been a kill but them slugs are so big and dont have enuff FPS to do a hole lot of damage. Sad that the deer had to suffer for so long.
