My only brush busting experience ended up (luckily) with a good result. I was sitting about 100 yards off the shoreline of a lake on a corner where deer liked to move. Buck came in from my far right. I shoot right handed. I pivoted around when he was behind a tree, waited for him to come out and took the shot. I spined him. Long story short, next day I sat in the same identical spot and found a neatly cut off sapling about the diameter of my finger about 10 feet off the gun barrel. I never even saw it when I shot. The bullet traveled about 65 yards and hit the deer. Gun was a Model 99 Savage in 300 Savage with Remington factory loads-the old 180 gr. round nose.
