Nav -

In the 80s I was woods hunting w/a 358 W --big slow bullet -
I had a good shot at a buck entering the last rib - I thot. At the shot the deer bolted like nothing happened. I'm confounded.

A bud & I looked hard and found hair, no blood to speak of and ground meat ?? More than enuff meat to know it didn't come from the hide over ribs or flank. Went back & searched-- close to the muzzle that 200 gr. 358 bullet cut a twig then deflected into the deer's hind 1/4.

Big slow bullets DONT always go straight. BTDT---That is the only deer out of more than 100 I ever hit in the butt.

I don't TRY to shoot thru brush with anything.
