Fair question.

Missed clean on first shot 3 times. Two of those bucks offered follow up shots and were killed on second shots.Another i swung squarely into an out cropping half way to him.

One buck hit slightly behind diaphragm. Did not get a second shot. He was finished in his bed.

I was asked to assist on a running buck fired on by a companion,and thought to be hit. I hit him high on the back. He was recovered an hour later.

All the rest were quickly killed,first shot.Only two I recall got out of sight,maybe 40-50 yards(?)

Crippled/unrecovered? None.

These are bucks that were running, not walking/moving slowly. They are about as difficult as one that's standing.



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
